Standing Outside The Fire - Garth Brooks
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
We call them [C]cool
Those hearts that [C]have no scars to show
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 [C]dance within the flame
Who chance the [Em]sorrow and [F]the shame
That always [Dm]comes with get[G]ting burned
|[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 [C]can face this world alone
Who seem to get [Em]by on their [F]own
Those who will [Dm]never take [G]the fall
We call them [C]weak
Who are [C]unable to resist
The slightest [Em]chance love [F]might exist
And for that [Dm]forsake it [G]all
|[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
|[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... [NC]the fire
|[Chorus 3]
|[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
