xStanding Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks (Yates/Brooks)
----------------------------------------
capo 2nd fret
G C9 G C9
G
We call them cool
C9 G
Those hearts that have no scars to show
Bm C
The ones that never do let go
Am D D2 D4 D
And risk the tables being turned
(same chord progression)
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
Em7 D
But you got to be tough
C G
When consumed by desire
Em7 D C D G C9 G C9
Cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire
(same chords as before)
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
Em7 D
They're so hell bent on giving
C G
Walking a wire
Em7 D C D G
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
Em7 D G C
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
Am D G
If you're standing outside the fire
C
There's this love that is burning
Bm
Deep in my soul
Am G
Constantly yearning to get out of control
C
Wanting to fly
Bm
Higher and higher
Am Bm C D NC
I can't abide standing outside... the fire
Nice percussion solo (or just play G) then back to the chorus
