Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks (Yates/Brooks) ---------------------------------------- capo 2nd fret G C9 G C9 G We call them cool C9 G Those hearts that have no scars to show Bm C The ones that never do let go Am D D2 Dsus4 D 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 Em7 D But you got to be tough C G When consumed by desire Em7 D C D G C9 G C9 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 Em7 D They're so hell bent on giving C G Walking a wire Em7 D C D G Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire C D G Standing outside the fire C D G Standing outside the fire Em7 D G C Life is not tried, it is merely survived Am D G If you're standing outside the fire C There's this love that is burning Bm Deep in my soul Am G Constantly yearning to get out of control C Wanting to fly Bm Higher and higher Am Bm C D NC I can't abide standing outside... the fire Nice percussion solo (or just play G) then back to the chorus
