SONG: Out There
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz

From the musical, The Hunchback of Notre Dame


             C#m
The world is cruel
             A
The world is wicked
        C#m                                   D
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
          G#sus G#   A#m7(no5)   G#/[ch]B#[/ch]  
I am your only friend

C#m                                  A
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
C#m                         G#m
I who look upon you without fear
F#m                           G#m             Amaj7
How can I protect you, boy, unless you always stay in here
 E/G    G#  
Away in here

F#m/G#   C#m/G#   G#7
[spoken]Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo


          C#m
You are deformed
[I am deformed]
            A
And you are ugly
[And I am ugly]
              C#m
And these are crimes
For which the world
             D
Shows little pity
           G#sus G#  
You do not comprehend
            A#m7b5 G#/[ch]B#[/ch]  
[You are my one defender]

C#m       B         A  
Out there they'll revile you
     B/A  A  
As a monster
[I am A monster]
C#m       B         A  
Out there they will hate
              G#m
And scorn and jeer
[Only a monster]
F#m7
Why invite their calumny
    G#m
And consternation?
Amaj7
Stay in here
   G#m
Be faithful to me
[I'm faithful]
A        F#m  G#   
Grateful to me
[I'm grateful]

C#m
Do as I say
 F#m/C#  
Obey
         C#m/G#  
And/I'll stay
G# C#m
In here

Fm/C


C      Fm/C       C       C7        Fm/C        C  
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
C      Fm/C   C      C7     Fm/C  C
Gazing at the people down below me
Em     Am/E   Em         E7(no3rd)  A/E  F#m7b5  Em  
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Em     Am/E    Em   E7(no3rd)  Am/E  Em
Hungry for the histories they show me
G7/D                         F/C  C    Dm/C    C   
All my life I memorize their faces
G7                              F/C  C    Dm/C    C   
Knowing them as they will never know me
F                           C/E
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
     Dm7       Dm7
Not above them
         Dm7/G   Dm7/G
But part of them


    C
And out there
Fmaj7  Gsus    G   
Living in 
    Csus2/E   C/E  
the sun
F       F/G     C
Give me one day out there
F     Gsus   D#
All I ask is one
   G#maj7  Fm7/A#  
To hold forever
C
Out there
Fmaj7      Gsus  G  Em7
Where they all live un

         Dm7 Dm7/G
What I'd give

What I'd dare
        Dm7  F/E F6  F/G C    Fm/C    C    C7    Fm/C C    Fm/C    C    C7    Fm/C
Just to live one day out there


    F      G/F      F               G/F               F  
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
F           G/F       F            Em7
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
G#    A#/G#    G#                  A#/G#          G#  
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Fm7                           Fm7
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
   C/G   Dm7      
If I was in their skin
    C/G      A#7
I'd treasure ev'ry instant


D#
Out there
G#maj7    A#7sys    A#7   
Strolling by 
    D#/G
the Seine
G#      A#7sus  A#   
Taste a morning 
D#
out there
     G#maj7 A#7sus  A#7   
Like ordinary 
F#
men
    B      G#m7/C#  
Who freely walk 
 D#
about there
G#maj7   A#7sus    A#7   
Just one day 
    Gm
and then
  Cm7              Fm7 Fm7/A#
I swear I'll be content
     A#7  F#(add2) Bmaj7
With my share
        A#7sus
Won't resent

Won't de

Old and bent
