[Intro]
A     Asus4     A     Asus4
[Verse]
             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]
            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
