SONG: Out There
ARTIST: Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz
From the musical, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
C#m
The world is cruel
A
The world is wicked
C#m D
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city
G#sus G# A#m7(no5) G#/[ch]B#[/ch]
I am your only friend
C#m A
I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you
C#m G#m
I who look upon you without fear
F#m G#m Amaj7
How can I protect you, boy, unless you always stay in here
E/G G#
Away in here
F#m/G# C#m/G# G#7
[spoken]Remember what I taught you, Quasimodo
C#m
You are deformed
[I am deformed]
A
And you are ugly
[And I am ugly]
C#m
And these are crimes
For which the world
D
Shows little pity
G#sus G#
You do not comprehend
A#m7b5 G#/[ch]B#[/ch]
[You are my one defender]
C#m B A
Out there they'll revile you
B/A A
As a monster
[I am A monster]
C#m B A
Out there they will hate
G#m
And scorn and jeer
[Only a monster]
F#m7
Why invite their calumny
G#m
And consternation?
Amaj7
Stay in here
G#m
Be faithful to me
[I'm faithful]
A F#m G#
Grateful to me
[I'm grateful]
C#m
Do as I say
F#m/C#
Obey
C#m/G#
And/I'll stay
G# C#m
In here
F#m/C# C#m F#m/C# C#m

C Fm/C C C7 Fm/C C
Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone
C Fm/C C C7 Fm/C C
Gazing at the people down below me
Em Am/E Em E7(no3rd) A/E F#m7b5 Em
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone
Em Am/E Em E7(no3rd) Am/E Em
Hungry for the histories they show me
G7/D F/C C Dm/C C
All my life I memorize their faces
G7 F/C C Dm/C C
Knowing them as they will never know me
F C/E
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day
Dm7 Dm7
Not above them
Dm7/G Dm7/G
But part of them
C
And out there
Fmaj7 Gsus G
Living in
Csus2/E C/E
the sun
F F/G C
Give me one day out there
F Gsus D#
All I ask is one
G#maj7 Fm7/A#
To hold forever
C
Out there
Fmaj7 Gsus G Em7
Where they all live un

aware
Dm7 Dm7/G
What I'd give
Em7 am
What I'd dare
Dm7 F/E F6 F/G C Fm/C C C7 Fm/C C Fm/C C C7 Fm/C
Just to live one day out there
F G/F F G/F F
Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives
F G/F F Em7
Through the roofs and gables I can see them
G# A#/G# G# A#/G# G#
Ev'ry day they shout and scold and go about their lives
Fm7 Fm7
Heedless of the gift it is to be them
C/G Dm7
If I was in their skin
C/G A#7
I'd treasure ev'ry instant
D#
Out there
G#maj7 A#7sys A#7
Strolling by
D#/G
the Seine
G# A#7sus A#
Taste a morning
D#
out there
G#maj7 A#7sus A#7
Like ordinary
F#
men
B G#m7/C#
Who freely walk
D#
about there
G#maj7 A#7sus A#7
Just one day
Gm
and then
Cm7 Fm7 Fm7/A#
I swear I'll be content
A#7 F#(add2) Bmaj7
With my share
A#7sus
Won't resent

Old and bent
