The Outside

C


[Verse 1]
G         C                    D
You were dressed in white as I 
    Em          C
hid inside my gates
D
Follow me follow me follow me follow
 me
G            D   Em   C
As I plan my great escape
D
Now I see now I see now I see


[Pre-Chorus]
             G
I watched us grow, I watched us reap
             D               
I watched us on our knees and 
          G          C
starting to breathe
              G
I watched you glow, I watched you 
bleed
              D                    
I watched you wanting me and 
  G            C
wanting to leave


[Chorus]
         G                         
You have stars in your eyes, I have
 D             G/B
 clouds in my mind
         C
And they keep me from seeing what

I should be seeing but
          G                     
As you're holding on tight, I am 
 D         G/B
under disguise
           C
All these lights, they have faded 
out
                         G      D
Just as I had waited outside
              Em     C
I'm on the outside
                G        D
I swear that I tried
                   Em      C      D
But I'm on the outside

[Verse 2]
       C                  D   
I bent backwards trying to make 
         Em  C
myself fit in
D
I believed I believed I believed I 
believed I
G                D   Em  C
Could slip right out of my skin
D
Now I see now I see now I see


[Pre-Chorus]
         G
I nearly died, I tried to run
             D                G   
I I tried to make believe it had 
      C
to be done
          G
But I realized I'm like the sun
           D               G     
I burn too bright to never blind 
C
anyone


[Chorus]
         G                         
You have stars in your eyes, I have
 D             G/B
 clouds in my mind
         C
And they keep me from seeing what

I should be seeing but
          G                     
As you're holding on tight, I am 
 D         G/B

           C
All these lights, they have faded 
out
                         G      D
Just as I had waited outside
              Em     C
I'm on the outside
                G        D
I swear that I tried
                   Em      C      D
But I'm on the outside


[Bridge]
G
I'll rip out my shattered heart
D
Replacing it with modern art
           Em              D
Til theres nothing left to do
G
I'll sneak through the cracks again
D
Make sure to never go back in
               Em              D
‚cause there's nothing left to prove
    G              D
I'm lost with you


[Interlude]
G D Em C


[Chorus]
         G                         
You have stars in your eyes, I have
 D             G/B
 clouds in my mind
         C
And they keep me from seeing what

I should be seeing but
          G

                         G      D
Just as I had waited outside
              Em     C
I'm on the outside
                G        D
I swear that I tried
                   Em      C      D
But I'm on the outside
