Garth Brooks: Standing Outside the Fire

Capo 2


Intro:  G C G C  


1st Verse:
             G
We call them cool 
 	  	 C                G
Those hearts that have no scars to show 
               Em7          C
The ones that never do let go 
             Am7          D      Bm7  D
And risk the tables being turned 


2nd Verse
             G
We call them fools 
            C                G
Who have to dance within the flame 
               Em7            C
Who chance the sorrow and the shame 
            Am7                D      Bm7  D
That always comes with getting burned 


Pre-Chorus:
           Em        D             C          G
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 
       Em         D            C       D7        G     C G C
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire 


3rd Verse:
             G
We call them strong 
              C                 G
Those who can face this world alone 
            Em7             C
Who seem to get by on their own 
               Am7            D    Bm7  D
Those who will never take the fall 


4th Verse:
             G
We call them weak 
          C         G
Who are unable to resist 
             Em7                  C
The slightest chance love might exist 
        Am7             D   Bm7  D
And for that forsake it all 


Pre-Chorus:
           Em           D       C         G
They're so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire 
   Em              G             C       D7         G
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire 


Chorus:
C          Dsus      G
Standing outside the fire 
C          Dsus      G
Standing outside the fire
Em          D            G  Am  G  C
Life is not tried, it is merely survived 
G         Am         Dsus      G
If you're standing outside the fire 


Bridge:
             C
There's this love that is burning 
G
Deep in my soul 
Am                         G
Constantly yearning to get out of control 
C              G
Wanting to fly higher and higher 
Am        G
I can't abide 
C           D        G
Standing outside the fire 


A Cappella Chorus with drums:

Standing outside the fire 
Standing outside the fire 
Life is not tried, it is merely survived 
If you're standing outside the fire 


Chorus:
C          Dsus      G
Standing outside the fire 
C          Dsus      G
Standing outside the fire
Em          D            G  Am  G  C
Life is not tried, it is merely survived 
G         Am         Dsus      G
If you're standing outside the fire
