Outside Looking In

G+G
Here I am more or less a man
A7A7 C majorC
Second rate, the last in line
G+G D MajorD
One of life's little twists of fate
G+G
But here I stand
the unaccepted man [Neh 1:9]
A7A7 C majorC
At the temple gate...
G+G
Sometimes I sit and wonder why
A7A7
I was born
C majorC
When everything that I touch
G+G D MajorD
Seems to turn out wrong
G+G
Though I'm a mistake
A7A7 C majorC
There must be a place I belong
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But I'm outside looking in [Luke 15:14]
G+G DmDm Am7Am7
(Life looks so easy, they all seem so happy)
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yes, I'm outside looking in
G+G DmDm Am7Am7
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I'm all alone without a friend
C majorC D MajorD G+G
'Cause I'm outside looking in
G+G
The plan was laid
A7A7
I guess I was made this way [Psa 51:5]
C majorC
I've tried before
G+G D MajorD
but I just can't seem to change
G+G
Still my heart longs to belong
A7A7 C majorC
I wish there was a way
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But I'm outside looking in
G+G DmDm Am7Am7
(The beautiful city - they all seem so happy) [Eph 2:21]
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Yes, I'm outside looking in
G+G DmDm Am7Am7
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
The celebration will begin
C majorC D MajorD G+G
While I'm still outside looking in
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Oh, I'm outside looking in [Gal 4:26]
A augmentedA E minorEm Bm7Bm7
(They make it look easy to love and be happy)
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Yes, I'm outside looking in
A augmentedA E minorEm Bm7Bm7
(I'm cast out and ugly and nobody loves me)
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Oh, nobody knows me now I'm outside looking in
A augmentedA E minorEm Bm7Bm7
(The beautiful city - they all seem so happy) [Num 24:5]
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Oh, nobody sees the ones outside looking in
A augmentedA E minorEm Bm7Bm7
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
Oh, nobody knows me now
D MajorD E MajorE F#M
As life goes on for them
D MajorD E MajorE F#M
I will stay here in my sin
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
'Cause I'm outside looking in
