Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks (Yates/Brooks)
----------------------------------------
capo 2nd fret
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
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
But you got to be tough
When consumed by desire
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
They're so hell bent on giving
Walking a wire
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly
Higher and higher
NC
I can't abide standing outside... the fire
Nice percussion solo (or just play G) then back to the chorus
