Capo: 2

Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks (Yates/Brooks) ---------------------------------------- capo 2nd fret G C9 G C9

We call them ^Gcool Those hearts that ^C9have no scars to ^Gshow The ones that ^Bmnever do let ^Cgo And risk the ^Amtables being ^Dturned ^D2 ^D4 ^D

(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

But you ^Em7got to be ^Dtough When ^Cconsumed by de^Gsire Cause ^Em7its not en^Dough just to ^Cstand out^Dside the ^Gfire ^C9 ^G ^C9

(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

They're so ^Em7hell bent on ^Dgiving ^CWalking a ^Gwire Con^Em7vinced it's not ^Dliving when you ^Cstand out^Dside the ^Gfire

^CStanding out^Dside the ^Gfire ^CStanding out^Dside the ^Gfire ^Em7Life is not ^Dtried, it is ^Gmerely sur^Cvived If you're ^Amstanding out^Dside the ^Gfire

There's this ^Clove that is burning ^BmDeep in my soul ^AmConstantly yearning to get ^Gout of control ^CWanting to fly ^BmHigher 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
