Verse 5
(C major) Safe behind these windows
and these parapets of stone
(C major) Gazing at the people down below me
(E minor) All my life I watch them
as I hide up here alone
(E minor) Hungry for the histories they show me
(G major) All my life I memorize their (F major) fa (C major) ces
(G major) Knowing them as they will never (F major) know (C major) me
(F major) All my life I wonder how it (C major) feels to pass a day
Not a (D minor) bove them
But (G major) part of them
Chorus 1
And (C major) out there
(F major) Living in (G major) the (E minor) sun
(F major) Give me one (G major) day (C major) out there
(F major) All I ask (G major) is one (E flat major)
To (A flat major) hold for (B flat major) ever
(C major) Out there
(F major) Where they all (G major) live un- (E minor) a (A minor) ware
What I'd (G major) give
What I'd (E minor) dare (A minor)
Just to live (D minor) (C major) one (F major) day
(G major) out (C major) there
(F minor) (C major) (F minor)
Verse 6
Out (F major) there among the millers
and the (G major) weavers and their wives
(F major) Through the roofs and gables I can (E minor) see them
(A flat major) Ev'ry day they shout and scold and
(B flat major) go about their lives
(F minor) Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If (C major) I was (G major) in their skin
I'd (C major) treasure (B flat major) ev'ry instant
Chorus 2
(E flat major) Out there
(A flat major) Strolling (B flat major) by the (G minor) Seine
(A flat major) Taste a (B flat major) morning (E flat major) out there
Like (A flat major) ordi (B flat major) nary (G flat major) men
Who (B major) freely (D flat major) walk a (E flat major) bout there
(A flat major) Just one day (B flat major) and (G minor) then
I (C minor) swear I'll be con (F minor) tent
(B flat major) With my (G flat major) share
(B major) Won't re (B flat major) sent
Won't despair
Old and bent
I won't care
I'll have (F minor) spent
(E flat major) One (B flat major) day
Out (E flat major) there
(A flat minor) (E flat major) (A flat minor) (F major) (E flat major)
Out There
