Alison Kraus And Union Station – On The Outside Looking In chords

Hey, a great song I discovered this week...

start on Am


        Am      You've closed a door in front of me
                     DmI wait patiently outside
     C              FAnd as the minutes tick away
     E            AmI feel my anger rise

     AmAnd who's the object of my rage?
                      DmAnd who's not being fair?
       C             FIs it you for your indifference?
     E                   AmOr me for just standing there?

       F'Cause in my mind the room beyond
   Cis bathed in golden light
      E Well I dream about you through the day
      Amand I toss and turn at night


(chords the same as first verse)


Sometimes it's hard to understand
When they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

Well I didn't make the grade today
and I'm not the only one
But my heart won't stop hurting
my feeling all alone

And maybe we'll trade places
in some not so distant year
I'll hear your voice a-calling out
and I'd cover up my ears

'Cause in my mind the room beyond
is bathed in golden light
well I dream about you through the day
and I toss and turn at night

Well sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
An' should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?

well I could brag on the things I've done
or the places I have been
But I've never found a cure
for on the outside looking in

Sometimes it's hard to understand
when they say that pride's a sin
Should I go or should I stay
on the outside looking in?
