OUTSIDE LOOKING IN (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

------------------------------------------

[I'm not quite sure about some of these chords; I especially wonder about

the intro and the bridge. As always, suggestions are welcome.]

[Actually in A; capo 2.]

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]
