DAm7GDVerse 1:
DAm7
You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
GD
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Am7
Don't ever let them steal your joy
GD
And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Am7
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
GD
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
Am7
I see you tugging on your shirt
GD
Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts

Refrain:
DAm7
Let 'em laugh while they can
GGmD
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
F#G
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
GmD
And the joke's on them
Verse 2:
DAm7
You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
GD
It's your brother's world for a while longer
D
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
Am7
To beat the stream
GD
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
D
They come to kick dirt in your face
Am7
To call you weak and then displace you
GD
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
Am7
I saw your eyes behind your hair
GD
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared
Refrain:
DAm7
Let 'em laugh while they can
GGmD
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
F#G
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
GmD
And the joke's on them
