Outside the lights,
                                  A
Outside the starlight's burning bright
                                E
Like a picture from a baby's lullaby.

The sparkle in her eyes, when she was young,
                               A
Seem to glow, seem to glow in time
                                              E
With the beating of her little heart next to mine.

E                                             A
As time move on, do sis the rules within her life.
                                                   E
Yeah...and the rules told her to stay inside the lines.
         B7                                                  E
She's a woman now, and that child in her colors outside the lines.

A             E       A          E
Outside the lines, outside the lines.
A              E                A           E
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines,
A             E
outside the lines.

                                               A
Well, I complain too much to you for words to say
                                   E
And you tell me that you love me anyway.
                                                  A
I got my applause tryin' to figure out what I am now
                                      E
And you tell me that doesn't matter anyhow.
B7
I won't be blind, cause you taught me to color
         E
Outside the lines.

A             E       A          E
Outside the lines, outside the lines.
A              E                A           E
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines,
A             E       A          E
Outside the lines, outside the lines.
A              E                A           E
Ain't nobody cryin', colorin' outside the lines,
         A           E             A          E
Livin' outside the lines, lovin' outside the lines,
 A             E      A   E (until end)
Outside the lines...
