[Intro]
D Am G D
[Verse 1]
D Am You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy? G D With your quiet voice and impeccable style Am Don't ever let them steal your joy G D And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Am Dress you down, and tell you that your place G D Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine Am I see you tugging on your shirt G D Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
[Refrain]
D Am Let 'em laugh while they can G Gm D Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind F# G I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends Gm D Am G D And the joke's on them
[Verse 2]
D Am You get discouraged, don't you, girl? G D It's your brother's world for a while longer D We gotta dance with the devil on a river Am To beat the stream G D Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder D They come to kick dirt in your face Am To call you weak and then displace you G D After carrying your baby on your back across the desert Am I saw your eyes behind your hair G D And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
[Refrain]
D Am Let 'em laugh while they can G Gm D Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind F# G I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends Gm D And the joke's on them
[Interlude]
