Standing Outside The Fire - Garth Brooks
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
We call them [C] cool
Those hearts that [Am] have no [G] scars to show [C]
The ones that [Em] never do let [F] go
And risk the [Dm] tables being [G] turned
We call them [C] fools
Who have to [Am] dance [G] within the flame [C]
Who chance the [Em] sorrow and [F] the shame
That always [Dm] comes with getting [G] burned
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But you [Am] got to be [G] tough
When [F] consumed by de[C]sire
Cause [Am] its not [G] enough just to [F] stand out[G]side the [C] fire
[Verse 2]
We call them [C] strong
Those who [Am] can face this [G] world alone [C]
Who seem to get [Em] by on their [F] own
Those who will [Dm] never take the [G] fall
We call them [C] weak
Who are [Am] unable [G] to resist [C]
The slightest [Em] chance love might [F] exist
And for [Dm] that forsake it [G] all
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They're so [Am] hell bent on [G] giving
[F] Walking a [C] wire
Con[Am]vinced it's not [G] living when you [F] stand out[G]side the [C] fire
|[Chours]
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[Am] Life is not [G] tried, it is [C] merely sur[F]vived
|If you're [Dm] standing out[G]side the [C] fire
[Bridge]
There's this [F] love that is burning, [Em] deep in my soul
[Dm] Constantly yearning to get [C] out of control
[F] Wanting to fly, [Em] higher and higher
[Dm] I can't [Em] abide [F] standing [G] outside... [C] the fire
|[Chorus] x2
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[F] Standing out[G]side the [C] fire
|[Am] Life is not [G] tried, it is [C] merely sur[F]vived
|If you're [Dm] standing out[G]side the [C] fire
[Outro]
[Am] [G] [C] [Dm] [G] [G] [C*]
