Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks (Yates/Brooks)
----------------------------------------

A     Asus4     A     Asus4

             A
We call them cool
                  Asus4            A
Those hearts that have no scars to show
              C#m          D
The ones that never do let go
             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

        F#m       E
But you got to be tough
     D             A
When consumed by desire
      F#m       E            D        E        A     Asus4     A     Asus4
Cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire

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

           F#m          E
They're so hell bent on giving
D         A
Walking a wire
   F#m             E               D        E        A
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire

D           E        A
Standing outside the fire
D           E        A
Standing outside the fire
F#m         E            A         D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
          Bm          E        A
If you're standing outside the fire

             D
There's this love that is burning
C#m
Deep in my soul
Bm                         A
Constantly yearning to get out of control
D
Wanting to fly
C#m
Higher and higher
Bm       C#m  D        E             NC
I can't abide standing outside...    the fire

Nice percussion solo (or just play A) then back to the chorus
