The Outside

C


[Verse 1]

G         C                    D    Em          C
You were dressed in white as I 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                         G          C
I watched us on our knees and starting to breathe
              G
I watched you glow, I watched you bleed
              D                      G            C
I watched you wanting me and wanting to leave


[Chorus]

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

I should be seeing but
          G                      D         G/B
As you're holding on tight, I am 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            Em  C
I bent backwards trying to make 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         C
I I tried to make believe it had to be done
          G
But I realized I'm like the sun
           D               G     C
I burn too bright to never blind anyone


[Chorus]

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

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


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

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