Outside Looking In Chords by Neal Morse

[F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [F#] _
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ [F#]
Here I stand, more or less a [C] man's second rate, [B] The last in line, one of life's [F#] little
twists of [C#] fate.
[F#] But here I stand, the unaccepted [G#] man at the temple [B] gate. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] Sometimes I sit and wonder [C] why I was born, _
[B] When everything that I touch [F#] seems to turn out [C#] wrong.
[F#] Though I'm a mistake, there [G#] must be a place I [B] belong.
_ _ [E] But I'm [B] outside [F#m] looking in.
Life [C#m] looks so easy, they all seem [G#m] so happy.
_ [B] Yes, I'm [C#] outside [F#] looking in.
[C#m] And everyone's pretty, but I [G#m] feel so ugly.
_ [B] I'm all alone [C#] without [D#m] my friend, _ [B] cause I'm [C#] outside [F#] looking in.
_ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
[F#] Oh, the plan was laid, I guess [C] I was made this way.
[B] I tried before, but I just [F#] can't seem to [C#] change.
[F#] Still my heart longs to belong, [G#] _ I wish there was a [B] way.
_ [E] But I'm [B] outside [F#] looking in.
The beautiful [C#m] city, they all seem [G#m] so happy.
_ [B] Yes, I'm [C#] outside [F#] looking in.
And [C#m] everyone's pretty, but I feel [G#m] so ugly.
[B] The celebration _ [C#] will [D#m] begin, _ while I'm [B] still [C#] outside looking [G#m] in.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [F#] I'm [C#] outside [G#] looking in.
They make [D#m] it look easy to love [A#m] and be happy.
Oh, [C#] I'm outside, [D#] oh I guess it's [G#] not for me.
I'm cast out [D#m] and ugly, and nobody [A#m] loves me.
Oh, if [C#] God really [D#] loved me, oh [G#] he'd bring me here and he'd show me the way.
The beautiful [D#m] city, they all seem [A#m] so happy.
Oh, nobody sees the [C#] ones [D#] outside looking [G#] in now.
And [D#m] everyone's pretty, but I [A#m] feel so ugly. _
[C#] The celebration _ [D#] will [Fm] begin, _ but [A#] I will stay [G#] here in [C#] my cell.
Cause [F#] I'm [C#] outside looking [G#] in. _ _
[A#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _
