Outside Looking In

Intro: G A7 C G D

G
Here I am more or less a man
A7
Second rate
        C
The last in line
                       G           D
One of life's little twists of fate
G
But here I stand the unaccepted man
A7                 C
At the temple gate...
G
Sometimes I sit and wonder why
A7
I was born
           C
When everything that I touch
          G              D
Seems to turn out wrong
        G
Though I'm a mistake
                 A7          C
There must be a place I belong

        F        C      G
But I'm outside looking in
               Dm                     Am
(Life looks so easy, they all seem so happy)
         C        D      G
Yes, I'm outside looking in
                 Dm                  Am
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
          C       D       Em
I'm all alone without a friend
           C        D       G  A7  C  G  D
'Cause I'm outside looking in

      G                          A7
The plan was laid I guess I was made this way
      C                             G           D
I've tried before but I just can't seem to change
       G
Still my heart longs to belong
A7                   C
I wish there was a way

        F        C      G
But I'm outside looking in
               Dm                     Am
(The beautiful city, they all seem so happy)
         C        D      G
Yes, I'm outside looking in
                 Dm                  Am
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
          C      D      Em
The celebration will begin
                C        D      (Am  D4 D Am G  D 4x)
While I'm still outside looking in

                         A
Oh, I'm outside looking in
                   Em                   Bm
(They make it look easy to love and be happy)
         D        E       A
Yes, I'm outside looking in
                  Em
(I'm cast out and ugly and nobody loves me)
     Bm
Oh, nobody knows me now
      D      E       A
I'm outside looking in
                Em
(The beautiful city, they all seem so happy)
     Bm
Oh, nobody sees the ones
D        E       A
Outside looking in
                 Em
(And everyone's pretty but I feel so ugly)
     Bm
Oh, nobody knows me now
    D        E       F#m
As life goes on for them
        Bm      C#m     D
I will stay here in my sin
           G        D         A  B7  D  A  E
'Cause I'm outside looking in
