Neal Morse - Outside looking in

^GHere I am more or less a man ^A7Second rate, ^Cthe last in line One of life’s littl^Ge twists of^D fate ^GBut here I stand the unaccepted man [Neh 1:9] ^A7At the temple gate.^C..

^GSometimes I sit and wonder why ^A7I was born ^CWhen everything that I touch Seems to t^Gurn out wrong^{D G}Though I’m a mistake There must be a ^A7place I belong^C

But I’m ^Coutside ^Dlookin^Gg in [Luke 15:14] ^G(Life looks so e^Dmasy, they all seem so h^Am7appy) Yes, I’m o^Cutside l^Dooking^G in ^G(And everyone’s ^Dmpretty but I feel so^Am7 ugly) I’m all^C alone w^Dithout a ^Emfriend ’Cause I’m^C outside^D looki^Gng in

^GThe plan was laid I guess I was m^A7ade this way [Psa 51:5] I’ve ^Ctried before but I just can’t ^Gseem to ^Dchange ^GStill my heart longs to belong ^A7I wish there was a w^Cay

But I’m o^Cutside l^Dooking^G in ^G(The beautiful c^Dmity – they all seem so ^Am7happy) [Eph 2:21] Yes, I’m ^Coutside ^Dlooking^G in ^G(And everyone’s ^Dmpretty but I feel so^Am7 ugly) The celeb^Cration w^Dill be^Emgin While I’m still o^Cutside l^Dooking^G in

Oh, I’m o^Dutside l^Eooking^A in [Gal 4:26] ^A(They make it look e^Emasy to love and be h^Bm7appy) Yes, I’m ^Doutside ^Elooking^A in ^A(I’m cast out and^Em ugly and nobody ^Bm7loves me) Oh, nobody knows me now I’m ^Doutside l^Eooking^A in ^A(The beautiful ci^Emty – they all seem so^Bm7 happy) [Num 24:5] Oh, nobody sees the ones out^Dside loo^Eking i^An ^A(And everyone’s ^Empretty but I feel so^Bm7 ugly)

As li^Dfe goes o^En for t^F#Mhem I will s^Dtay here ^Ein my s^F#Min ’Cause I’m^D outside^E looki^Ang in
