OUTSIDE LOOKING IN (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------
Actually in A; capo 2.
I'm unsure about the pre-chorus and bridge, where I've written
F/A F/A Am Am. It might in fact be Am Am F/A F/A. Frankly, it
sounds okay either way. See which sounds best for you.
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/G C(9)/G
I see them walking hand in hand, and my eyes just want to linger
G G C/G C(9)/G
On those golden wedding bands, wrapped around their fingers
F/A F/A Am Am
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 F Am Am G F Am Am
instrumental
G G C/G C(9)/G
It's the hardest kind of need that never knows a reason
G G C/G C(9)/G
Are we such a lonely breed, or just born in a lonely season
F/A F/A Am Am
Baby, it's all in the eyes, it's where the reckoning begins
F/A F/A Am Am
It's where we linger like a sigh, it's where we long to be pulled in
F/A F/A Am Am(?)
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
