G 320033
C X32010
D XX0232 / XX0233
Am X02210
Em 022000
[G]On the outside l[C]ooking in /
I've ne[Am]ver been able to crack the code /
To break the secret sp[D]ell /
[G]That would open up the d[C]oor and let me in /
To every[Am]thing I've been looking for so hard I've[D] never seen
[Em]But I feel my strength r[C]eturning tonight /
Its flow[Am]ing from the purest well to ever[D] give water /
[Em]Out into an ocean where the shar[C]ks are circling /
a carni[Am]val of counterfeits has no room for some[D]thing real
[G] [C] [Am] [D]
[Em]( T[C]ab[Am] fr[D]om: http[G]://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/rocky_votolato/alabaster_crd_ver_2.html )
[G]arrogance and ego wrapped around[C] every word /
[Am]shouted from the pulpit as a judgment to control[D] /
[G]these were my roots my seed was thrown i[C]n shallow soil /
I grew i[Am]nto the thorn bushes to be scorched by t[D]he sun /
[Em] but I feel the gravel m[C]ove beneath my feet /
the smel[Am]l of the gasoline mixed in with the tree[D]s /
[Em]when my faith is strong I know m[C]y strength /
the thre[Am]ats will be screamed when the vultures fell t[D]hreatened
[G] [C] [Am] [D]
[Em] [C] [Am] [D] [G]
[G]so I'll open up the doo[C]r and let you in /
[Am]I want to break the alabaster smell the sweet [D]perfume /
[G]and when the bottle is broken I'll have [C]nothing left to give /
[Am]I'll know I'll already have everything worth having[D] /
[Em]but I feel my strength r[C]eturning tonight /
its f[Am]lowing from the purest well to ever give wa[D]ter /
[Em]out into and ocean where the sha[C]rks are circling /
a carniv[Am]al of counterfeits want to crucify somet[D]hing 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!
