The Outsiders by R.E.M.
Intro: Dm F Dm
DmYou took me to the Frestaurant where we Dmfirst met
DmYou knocked a Ffuture shock Dmcrowbar upside my head
DmI got caught with the Fstop of theF tick-tock,Dm tick-tock Dmclock
When you told meF what youDm knew
DmLost in the Fmoment
The Fday that theDm music Dmstopped
And I do FremembeDmr you
FDrawing patterns with a cork on the Ftablecloth
FPromising Fvolcanic Dmchange of plot
FWhere will this lead us - I'm Fscared of the storm
The Dmoutsiders are Fgathering, a Dmnew day is born
(Chords are the same as 1st verse)
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against
I don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regret
Now I'm trying to remember
The feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The Dmoutsiders are Fgathering, a Dmnew day is born
The Dmoutsiders are Fgathering Dm
Chords for the rap: Dm F F Dm
RAP
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality
Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean
They don't understand, they don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
F
