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...
