[Intro]
A Asus4 A Asus4
[Verse 1]
A
We call them cool
Asus4 A
Those hearts that have no scars to show
C#m D
The ones that never do let go
Bm E E7 E6 E
And risk the tables being turned
A
We call them fools
Asus4 A
Who have to dance within the flame
C#m D
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
Bm E E7 E6 E
That always comes with getting burned
[Chorus]
F#m E
But you got to be tough
D A
When consumed by desire
F#m E D E A Asus4 A Asus4
Cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire
[Verse 2]
A
We call them strong
Asus4 A
Those who can face this world alone
C#m D
Who seem to get by on their own
Bm E E7 E6 E
Those who will never take the fall
A
We call them weak
Asus4 A
Who are unable to resist
C#m D
The slightest chance love might exist
Bm E E7 E6 E
And for that forsake it all
[Chorus]
F#m E
They're so hell bent on giving
D A
Walking a wire
F#m E D E A
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire
D E A
Standing outside the fire
D E A
Standing outside the fire
F#m E A D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
Bm E A
If you're standing outside the fire
[Bridge]
D C#m
There's this love that is burning, deep in my soul
Bm A
Constantly yearning to get out of control
D C#m
Wanting to fly, higher and higher
Bm C#mD E
N.C.
I can't abide standing outside... the fire
[Chorus]
D E A
Standing outside the fire
D E A
Standing outside the fire
F#m E A D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
Bm E A
If you're standing outside the fire
