Standing Outside The Fire

Biography:

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer songwriter and charity director.

Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances.

CAPO 2nd Fret

[Intro] (quick strum with palm mute)
G C/G G C/G

Strum:
D DUDU D DUDU D DU
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge 2]
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

[Chorus]
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)...
