Intro:  (A)  (D/A)  (A)  (D/A)  

We call them (A) cool 
Those hearts that (D/A) have no scars to (A) show 
The ones that (F#m7) never do let (D) go 
And risk the (Bm7) tables being (E) turned (E/D) (C#m7) (E/B) 

We call them (A) fools 
Who have to (D/A) dance within the (A) flame 
Who chance the (F#m7) sorrow and the (D) shame 
That always (Bm7) comes with getting (E) burned (E/D) (C#m7) (E/B) 

But you've (F#m) got to be (E/G#) tough when cons(D)umed by des(A)ire 
'Cause (F#m) it's not en(A/G#)ough just to (D) stand out(E7)side the (A) fire 

(D/A)  (A)  (D/A) 

We call them (A) strong 
Those who can (D/A) face this world al(A)one 
Who seem to (F#m7) get by on their (D) own 
Those who will (Bm7) never take the (E) fall (E/D) (C#m7) (E/B) 

We call them (A) weak 
Who are un(D/A)able to re(A)sist 
The slightest (F#m7) chance love might ex(D)ist 
And for (Bm7) that forsake it (E) all (E/D) (C#m7) (E/B) 

They're so (F#m) hell-bent on (E/G#) giving, (D) walking a (A) wire 
Con(F#m)vinced it's not (A/G#) living if you (D) stand out(E7)side the (A) fire 

(D) Standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 
(D) Standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 
(F#m) Life is not (E/G#) tried, it is (A) mere(Bm)ly (A/C#) sur(D)vived 
(A/C#) If you're (Bm) standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 

There's this (D) love that is burning 
(A/C#) Deep in my soul 
(Bm) Constantly yearning to get (A) out of control 
(D) Wanting to fly (A/C#) higher and higher 
(Bm) I can't ab(A/C#)ide 
(D) Standing outs(E)ide the (A) fire 

(No Chord)

(No Chord) Standing outside the fire 
Standing outside the fire 
Life is not tried, it is merely survived 
If you're standing outside the fire 

(D) Standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 
(D) Standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 
(F#m) Life is not (E/G#) tried, it is (A) mere(Bm)ly (A/C#) sur(D)vived 
(A/C#) If you're (Bm) standing out(Esus)side the (A) fire 

Fade out...
