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
U2: Love is blindness (live solo)

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...
1st part
repeat this twice..

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
