ON THE OUTSIDE D E---2-------2------------------ B-------3---------------------- G-----2-------2---------------- D---0-----0-------------------- A------------------------------ E------------------------------ D She was a woman troubled like a river Trees all around her G But I only ever came near enough To hear her voice D Dsus4 D On the outside She was a woman inside a castle Knights all around her G And I never found myself strong enough To reach and touch D From the outside A G And every time I tried to swim across I though I'd drown A G And every time I tried to climb that wall I thought I'd fall D On the outside She was a woman frozen in a picture Frozen there forever With a smile that keeps me so warm inside But still I had On the outside She was a woman farther than forever Nearer not together And I only wish I was back in time 'Cause she'd be mine On the outside But every time I tried to find the love I left behind And every time I tried to make her mine Again I'd find myself On the outside
