G+G  C/GC/G  G+G  C/GC/G

Strum:
D MajorD DUDU D MajorD DUDU D MajorD DU
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

        G+G
We call them cool
         C/GC/G        G+G
Those hearts that have no scars to show
        E minorEm     C majorC
The ones that never do let go
       A minorAm       D MajorD  D/C  D/B  D/AD/A
And risk the tables being turned

        G+G
We call them fools
       C majorC        G+G
Who have to dance within the flame
         E minorEm       C majorC
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
       A minorAm         D MajorD  D/C  D/B D/AD/A
That always comes with getting burned

      E minorEm     D/F#D/F#
But you've got to be tough
     C majorC    G+G   G/F#
When consumed by desire
   E minorEm    D/F#D/F#      C majorC  C/BC/B D MajorD    G+G   G+G
Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

        G+G
We call them strong
        C majorC        G+G
Those who can face this world alone
      E minorEm        C majorC
Who seem to get by on their own
        A minorAm       D MajorD  D/C  D/B D/AD/A
Those who will never take the fall

        G+G
We call them weak
      C majorC    G+G
Who are unable to resist
        E minorEm        C majorC
The slightest chance love might exist
     A minorAm       D MajorD  D/C  D/B  D/AD/A
And for that forsake it all

      E minorEm       D/F#D/F#
They're so hell bent on giving
C majorC      G+G  G/F#
Walking a wire
  E minorEm       D/F#D/F#
Convinced it's not living
      C majorC  C/BC/B D MajorD    G+G  G+G
When you stand outside the fire

C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Standing outside the fire
C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Standing outside the fire
E minorEm     D/F#D/F#    G+G C5* C/BC/B  C majorC
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/BC/B     A minorAm    D MajorD     G+G
If you're standing outside the fire

       C majorC
There's this love that is burning
G/B*
Deep in my soul
A minorAm             G+G
Constantly yearning to get out of control
C majorC
Wanting to fly
G/B*
Higher and higher
A minorAm   G/B*   C majorC    D MajorD
I can't abide, standing outside...the fire

C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Standing outside the fire
C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
Standing outside the fire
E minorEm     D/F#D/F#    G+G C5* C/BC/B  C majorC
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/BC/B     A minorAm    D MajorD     G+G
If you're standing outside the fire

(Repeat and Fade)...
