Outside chords by Mariah Carey

Intro:
D A G Gm D


Verse 1:

             F#m
It's hard to explain


C       G/B                      D
Inherently it's just always been strange


             F#m
Neither here nor there

C          Bm          G          D
Always somewhat out of place everywhere


    F#m
Ambiguous


C         G/B                   D
Without a sense of belonging to touch


          F#m
Somewhere halfway


C               G                     D
Feeling there's no one completely the same



Chorus:

C#m7     F#7
Standing alone


Bm
Eager to just


Am                  D       G
Believe it's good enough to be what


  F#7
You really are


N.C.
But in your heart


  Bm                A#
Uncertainty forever lies


    A
And you'll always be


N.C.
Somewhere on the


   G   D
Outside


Verse 2:

              F#m
Early on, you face


C        Bm         D
The realization you don't


N.C.
Have a space


          F#m
Where you fit in


C        G
And recognize you


             Em D
Were born to exist



Chorus:

C#m7      F#7
Standing alone


Bm7
Eager to just


Am7                D        G
Believe it's good enough to be what


    F#
You really are


N.C.
But in your heart


  Bm                Gm
Uncertainty forever lies


A
And you'll always be


N.C.
Somewhere on the


   G Gm D
Outside



Break:

D
And it's hard


N.C.
And it's hard


N.C.
And it's hard



Verse 3:

B         Em7
Irreversibly


A#m           D
Falling in between


N.C.
And it's hard


         B
And it's hard


           Em7
To be understood


A#m7
As you are


N.C.
As you are


F#7 D
Oh, and God knows



Chorus 2:

            C#m              F#
That you're standing on your own


Bm7
Blind and unguided


Am7          G#
Into a world divided


       Gmaj7
You're thrown


             C#m7            F#7
Where you're never quite the same


Bm7               Am     D
Although you try, try and try


   Gmaj7
To tell yourself


   F#m7
You really are


F#7               Bm                  Gm
But in your heart uncertainty forever lies


    A
And you'll always be


                    G Gm D
Somewhere on the outside


N.C.
You'll always be


A                G Gm D
Somewhere on the outside
