Standing Outside the Fire

A     Asus4     A     Asus4

[Verse 1]

             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
              A
We call them fools
            Asus4            A
Who have to dance within the flame
              C#m          D
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
That always comes with getting burned

[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

            A
We call them strong
          Asus4            A
Those who can face this world alone
              C#m          D
Who seem to get by on their own

             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
Those who will never take the fall
             A
We call them weak
        Asus4     A
Who are unable to resist
              C#m          D
The slightest chance love might exist
             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
And for that forsake it all

[Chorus]

           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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
