Chords

[Intro] A Asus4 A Asus4 [Verse 1]
             A
We call them cool

                  Asus4            A
Those hearts that have no scars to show

              C#m          D
The ones that never do let go

             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
And risk the tables being turned

              A
We call them fools

            Asus4            A
Who have to dance within the flame

              C#m          D
Who chance the sorrow and the shame

             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
That always comes with getting burned
[Chorus]
        F#m       E
But you got to be tough

     D             A
When consumed by desire

      F#m       E            D        E        A     Asus4     A     Asus4
Cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire
[Verse 2]
            A
We call them strong

          Asus4            A
Those who can face this world alone

              C#m          D
Who seem to get by on their own

             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
Those who will never take the fall

             A
We call them weak

        Asus4     A
Who are unable to resist

              C#m          D
The slightest chance love might exist

             Bm           E      E7     E6     E
And for that forsake it all
[Chorus]
           F#m          E
They're so hell bent on giving

D         A
Walking a wire

   F#m             E               D        E        A
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire

D           E        A
Standing outside the fire

D           E        A
Standing outside the fire

F#m         E            A         D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived

          Bm          E        A
If you're standing outside the fire
[Bridge]
             D                     C#m
There's this love that is burning, deep in my soul

Bm                         A
Constantly yearning to get out of control

D               C#m
Wanting to fly, higher and higher

Bm       C#m  D        E             N.C.
I can't abide standing outside...    the fire
[Chorus]
D           E        A
Standing outside the fire

D           E        A
Standing outside the fire

F#m         E            A         D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived

          Bm          E        A
If you're standing outside the fire
