D DUDU D DUDU D DU

G
We call them cool
C/G G
Those hearts that have no scars to show
Em C
The ones that never do let go
Am D D/C D/B D/A
And risk the tables being turned
G
We call them fools
C G
Who have to dance within the flame
Em C
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
Am D D/C D/B D/A
That always comes with getting burned
Em D/F#
But you've got to be tough
C G G/F#
When consumed by desire
Em D/F# C C/B D G G
Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
G
We call them strong
C G
Those who can face this world alone
Em C
Who seem to get by on their own
Am D D/C D/B D/A
Those who will never take the fall
G
We call them weak
C G
Who are unable to resist
Em C
The slightest chance love might exist
Am D D/C D/B D/A
And for that forsake it all
Em D/F#
They're so hell bent on giving
C G G/F#
Walking a wire
Em D/F#
Convinced it's not living
C C/B D G G
When you stand outside the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
Em D/F# G C5* C/B C
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/B Am D G
If you're standing outside the fire
C
There's this love that is burning
G/B*
Deep in my soul
Am G
Constantly yearning to get out of control
C
Wanting to fly
G/B*
Higher and higher
Am G/B* C D
I can't abide, standing outside...the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
C D G
Standing outside the fire
Em D/F# G C5* C/B C
Life is not tried it is merely survived
C/B Am D G
If you're standing outside the fire
(Repeat and Fade)...
