Intro (quick strum with palm mute)

Strum:

               G						
We call them cool							
                  C/G                G	
Those hearts that have no scars to show
               Em          C
The ones that never do let go
              Am             D    D/C   D/B   D/A		
And risk the tables being turned							

               G					
We call them fools
              C                G
Who have to dance within the flame
                 Em             C
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
             Am                  D    D/C   D/B D/A
That always comes with getting burned

           Em         D/F#				
But you've got to be tough
         C        G      G/f#
When consumed by desire
      Em        D/F#            C   C/B  D       G     G
Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

                G
We call them strong
               C                G
Those who can face this world alone
            Em               C			
Who seem to get by on their own
                Am             D    D/C   D/B  D/A
Those who will never take the fall

               G
We call them weak
           C        G
Who are unable to resist
                Em                C
The slightest chance love might exist
         Am              D   D/C   D/B   D/A
And for that forsake it all 

           Em             D/F#
They're so hell bent on giving
C           G   G/f#
Walking a wire
    Em              D/F#
Convinced it's not living
           C    C/B D       G    G
When you stand outside the fire

C           D         G
Standing outside the fire
C           D         G
Standing outside the fire
Em          D/F#        G  C5* C/B   C
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/B         Am        D         G
If you're standing outside the fire

              C
There's this love that is burning
G/B*
Deep in my soul
Am                          G
Constantly yearning to get out of control
C
Wanting to fly
G/B*
Higher and higher
Am      G/B*     C        D		
I can't abide, standing outside...the fire

C           D         G
Standing outside the fire
C           D         G
Standing outside the fire
Em          D/F#        G  C5* C/B   C
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/B         Am        D         G
If you're standing outside the fire

(Repeat and Fade)...
