[Intro] | Am | Dm | | C F E7 | Am | [Verse]
       Am
You've closed a door in front of me

                    Dm
I wait patiently outside

    C              F
And as the minutes tick away

  E7            Am
I feel my anger rise
[Verse]
    Am
And who's the object of my rage?

                    Dm
And who's not being fair?

      C              F
Is it you for your indifference?

   E7                   Am
Or me for just standing there?
[Pre-Chorus]
       F
'Cause in my mind the room beyond

   C                E7
is bathed in golden light

       F               C
Well I dream about you through the day

      E7               Am
and I toss and turn at night
[Chorus]
    Am
Sometimes it's hard to understand

                             Dm
When they say that pride's a sin

C              F
Should I go or should I stay

       E7              Am
on the outside looking in?
[Instrumental] | Am | Dm | | C F E7 | Am | | Am | Dm | | C F E7 | Am | [Verse]
       Am
Well I didn't make the grade today

                     Dm
and I'm not the only one

       C                F
But my heart won't stop hurting

   E7           Am
my feeling all alone
[Verse]
    Am
And maybe we'll trade places

                       Dm
in some not so distant year

     C                 F
I'll hear your voice a-calling out

        E7          Am
and I'd cover up my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
       F
'Cause in my mind the room beyond

   C                E7
is bathed in golden light

       F               C
Well I dream about you through the day

      E7               Am
and I toss and turn at night
[Chorus]
         Am
Well sometimes it's hard to understand

                             Dm
when they say that pride's a sin

    C              F
An' should I go or should I stay

       E7              Am
on the outside looking in?
[Instrumental] | Am | Dm | | C F E7 | Am | | Am | Dm | | C F E7 | Am | [Pre-Chorus]
     F
Well I could brag on the things I've done

       C             E7
or the places I have been

         F             C
But I've never found a cure

           E7              Am
for on the outside looking in
[Chorus]
         Am
Well sometimes it's hard to understand

                             Dm
when they say that pride's a sin

    C              F
An' should I go or should I stay

       E7
on the outside looking
[Outro]
| Am       | Dm    |
 in?
| C F E7 | Am
