[Verse]
Dm F G Bb
It's hard for me to face that so much time has passed
Dm F G Bb
And all the things that went away were those I thought would last
Dm F G Bb
It's hard to look into the mirror dark within
Dm F G Bb
And not embracing the reflection there may be my greatest sin
[Chorus]
Dm F G Bb
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
Dm F G Bb
It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin
Dm F G Bb
Hope has stained my heart in vain I'm drowning in my sin
Dm F G Bb
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in! Outside looking in!
[Verse]
Dm F G Bb
Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart
Dm F G Bb
And thinking I am winning in a race I didn't start
Dm F G Bb
Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?
Dm F G Bb
How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart?
[Chorus]
Dm F G Bb
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
Dm F G Bb
It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin
Dm F G Bb
Hope has stained my heart in vain I'm drowning in my sin
Dm F G Bb Dm
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in! Outside looking in!

Father have mercy on your son

And always bring me home again however far I've run

Father grant wisdom for within

So I no longer have to be on the outside looking in!
