C X32010
D XX0232 / XX0233
Am X02210
Em 022000
GC
On the outside looking in /
Am
I've never been able to crack the code /
D
To break the secret spell /
GC
That would open up the door and let me in /
AmD
To everything I've been looking for so hard I've never seen
EmC
But I feel my strength returning tonight /
AmD
Its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
EmC
Out into an ocean where the sharks are circling /
AmD
a carnival of counterfeits has no room for something real
G C Am D
Em C Am DG
GC
arrogance and ego wrapped around every word /
AmD
shouted from the pulpit as a judgment to control /
GC
these were my roots my seed was thrown in shallow soil /
AmD
I grew into the thorn bushes to be scorched by the sun /
EmC
but I feel the gravel move beneath my feet /
AmD
the smell of the gasoline mixed in with the trees /
EmC
when my faith is strong I know my strength /
Am D
the threats will be screamed when the vultures fell threatened
G C Am D
Em C Am DG
G C
so I'll open up the door and let you in /
Am D
I want to break the alabaster smell the sweet perfume /
GC
and when the bottle is broken I'll have nothing left to give /
Am D
I'll know I'll already have everything worth having /
EmC
but I feel my strength returning tonight /
AmD
its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
EmC
out into and ocean where the sharks are circling /
AmD
a carnival of counterfeits want to crucify something real
The cool outro on D goes like this

There you go guys, this is a great tune and if you could play the harmonica
with it you'd be amazing. Props to Rocky!
