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