Outside Looking In

Capo on 2nd fret
	  		{Actually in A; .} 
 
G  F  Am  Am    G  F  Am  Am 
{intro} 
 
     G               D/F#   C/E               C 
Everywhere I see the signs, pointing one direction 
        G                 D/F#   C/E               C 
No more twists or crooked turns, leaving room for doubt 
        G                D/F#     C/E             C 
Where I used to take the time for quiet and reflection 
      G             D/F#     C/E           C 
Now I only hear the noise of what I am without 
 
           G                G           C(9)/G             C(9)/G 
I see them walking hand in hand, and my eyes just want to linger 
         G               G     C(9)/G                C(9)/G 
On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers 
       F             F     Am7            Am7 
By the time I turn away, I feel it once again 
              G                D/F#   Am7           C 
I'm back in this familiar place, outside looking in 
 
G  D/F#  Am7  C 
{instrumental} 
 
Baby, all the tears between us couldn't fill the spaces 
And all the word we grasped at, they just fell away 
I kept waiting on forgiveness to fix the broken places 
But nothing even like it ever came my way 
 
And tonight I drove around, and the street came up before me 
I took a turn and then I found this old house coming toward me 
I heard the sound a heart must make when a memory's caving in 
Oh baby, what a hungry place, outside looking in 
 
G  D/F#  Am7  C    G  D/F#  Am7  C 
{instrumental} 
 
         G               G         C(9)            C(9) 
It's the hardest kind of need that never knows a reason 
       G             G              C(9)               C(9) 
Are we such a lonely breed, or just born in a lonely season 
      Am                Am                 F            F 
Baby, it's all in the eyes, it's where the reckoning begins 
              Am             Am                 F                  F 
It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in 
              Am               Am         F            F 
It's where we learn to say goodbye without saying anything 
          G                D/F#       Am7      C 
Standing on the borderline, outside looking in 
 
G  D/F#  Am7  C    G  D/F#  Am7  C 
{instrumental; repeat and fade}
