         Bm                 A 
Love is blindness, I don't want to see 
           G               Em 
Won't you wrap the night around me 
Bm          F#          Bm 
Take my heart, love is blindness 

In a parked car, in a crowded street 
You see your love made complete 
Thread is ripping, the knot is slipping, love is blindness 

Love is clockworks, and cold steel 
Fingers too numb to feel  
Squeeze the handle, blow out the candle, love is blindness 

Love is blindness, I don't want to see 
Won't you wrap the night around me 
Oh my love, blindness 

          C               G/B 
A little death, without mourning 
    F#           Bm 
No call, and no warning 
           C          G/B 
Baby... a dangerous idea 
        F# 
That almost makes sense 

Solo: Bm A  G  Em  Bm  F#  Bm

This is what I could make out from the video of the sydney show... 

The first part is played with a delay (of course), and The Edge picks each 
note quite a few times before SLIDING to the next note... To get the timing 
right, listen to the version on Achtung Baby (note that the ending of the first 
part is different from what is played live, and the second part is faint on 
the album version). The transcription of the first part in particular shows you 
which notes to play rather than HOW to play them...

Love is drowning in a deep well 
All the secrets and no one to tell 
Take the money, honey, blindness 

Love is blindness, I don't want to see 
Won't you wrap the night around me 
Oh my love, blindness 

End: Bm A  G  Em  Bm  F#  Bm
