Am X02210
Em 022000
G C
On the outside looking in /
Am
I've never been able to crack the code /
D
To break the secret spell /
G C
That would open up the door and let me in /
Am D
To everything I've been looking for so hard I've never seen
Em C
But I feel my strength returning tonight /
Am D
Its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
Em C
Out into an ocean where the sharks are circling /
Am D
a carnival of counterfeits has no room for something real
G C Am D
Em C Am D G

G C
arrogance and ego wrapped around every word /
Am D
shouted from the pulpit as a judgment to control /
G C
these were my roots my seed was thrown in shallow soil /
Am D
I grew into the thorn bushes to be scorched by the sun /
Em C
but I feel the gravel move beneath my feet /
Am D
the smell of the gasoline mixed in with the trees /
Em C
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 D G
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 /
G C
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 /
Em C
but I feel my strength returning tonight /
Am D
its flowing from the purest well to ever give water /
Em C
out into and ocean where the sharks are circling /
Am D
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!
