S[D]he was a woman troubled like a river
Trees all around her
But I only ever came n[G]ear enough
To hear her voice
On the o[D]utside [Dsus4]         [D]
She was a woman inside a castle
Knights all around her
And I never found myself s[G]trong enough
To reach and touch
From the outs[D]ide

And [A]every time I tried to swim ac[G]ross
I though I'd drown
And [A]every time I tried to climb that w[G]all
I thought I'd fall
On the outs[D]ide

She was a woman frozen in a picture
Frozen there forever
With a smile that keeps me so warm inside
But still I had
On the outside
She was a woman farther than forever
Nearer not together
And I only wish I was back in time
'Cause she'd be mine
On the outside

But every time I tried to find the love
I left behind
And every time I tried to make her mine
Again I'd find myself
On the outside
