[D] [Am]
[G] [D]
Feeling nervous, aren't you [Am] boy?
With your quiet [G] voice
And [D] impeccable style
Don't ever let them steal your [Am] joy
And your gentle [G] ways
To keep them from running [D] wild
They [E] [D] can kick dirt in your face
[Am] Press you down and tell you
That your place [G] is in the middle
When they hate the way [D] you shine
I [G] [D] see you tugging on your [Am] shirt
Trying to [G] hide inside of it
And hide how much it [D] hurts
Let them live while [Am] they can
[G] Let them spin
Let them [Gm] scatter in the [D]
wind
I have been to the [F#] movies
I've seen [G] their ass
And the [Gm] chock show
[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 [G] [D] gotta dance with the devil
On a river to beat [Am] the stream
And call it [G] living the dream
Call it [D] kicking the ladder
They come to kick dirt in your [Am] face
To call you weak and then [G] displace you
After carrying your baby on your back
Across [D] the desert
I saw your eyes behind [Am] your hair
And you're [G] looking tired
But you [D] don't look scared
Let them live while [Am] they can
[G] Let them spin
Let them [Gm] scatter in [D]
the wind
I have been [F#] to the movies
I've seen their [G]
