From "In Pieces" (1993)
(Jenny Yates, Garth Brooks)

Tab By: theTone (kramer-a@stpc.wi.LeidenUniv.nl)

Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [G]  [Gsus4]  [G]  [Gsus4]

We call them [G]cool
Those hearts that [Gsus4]have no scars to [G]show
The ones that [Em]never do let [C]go
And risk the [Am]tables being [D]turned [D7]    [D]

We call them [G]fools
Who have to [Gsus4]dance within the [G]flame
Who chance the [Em]sorrow and the [C]shame
That always [Am]comes with getting [D]burned [D7]    [D]

But you [Em]got to be [D]tough
When [C]consumed by de[G]sire
Cause [Em]it's not e[D]nough
Just to [C]stand out[D]side the fire

INTRO

We call them [G]strong
Those who can [Gsus4]face this world a[G]lone
Who seem to [Em]get by on their [C]own
Those who will [Am]never take the [D]fall [D7]    [D]

We call them [G]weak
Who are un[Gsus4]able to re[G]sist
The slightest [Em]chance love might e[C]xist
And for [Am]that forsake it [D]all [D7]    [D]

They're so [Em]hell bent on [D]giving
[C]Walking a [G]wire
Con[Em]vinced it's not [D]living
When you [C]stand out[D]side the [G]fire

CHORUS:
[C]Standing out[D]side the [G]fire
[C]Standing out[D]side the [G]fire
[Em]Life is not [D]tried, it is [G]merely sur[C]vived
If you're [Am]standing out[D]side the [G]fire

There's this [C]love that is burning
[Bm]Deep in my soul
[Am]Constantly yearning to get [G]out of control
[C]Wanting to fly
[Bm]Higher and higher
[Am]I can't a[Bm]bide [C]standing [D]outside...    [Stop]the fire [G]

CHORUS (x3)
