On The Outside Looking In Cifras

[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
