Chords for Kelly Clarkson - The Joke (Brandi Carlile Cover) [Live in Detroit, MI]

_ I [Am] hope I do it justice, Brandi.
Okay.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
You're feeling nervous, aren't you [Am] boy?
With your [G] quiet voice and [D] impeccable style. _ _
Don't ever let them steal [A] your joy and your gentle [G]
ways
to keep them from running [D] wild.
_ They can kick dirt in your [Am] face, dress you down,
and tell you that your place [G] is in the middle
when they hate the way [D] you shine. _ _
I see you tugging on your [A] shirt,
trying to [G] hide the sight of it
and hide how much [D] it hurts.
Well, let them laugh while they [Am] can.
Let [G] them spin.
Let [Gm] them _ _ _ [D]
stand.
I have been to [F#] the movies.
I've seen hell [G] _
_ _ [Gm] and the joy.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ She's got [G] a song on.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
She's a girl, but you don't see [Am] her.
_ It's your [G] brother's world for a while [D] longer.
_ You gotta dance with the devil on the river to beat the [Am] stream.
_ Call it living [G] the dream.
Call it taking [D] the ladder.
_ _ They come to kick dirt in your face [Am] to call you weak.
And then this weight you [G] have to carry
and your baby on your back across the [D] desert. _ _ _
Just close your eyes.
You're in [Am] your head, and you're looking [G]
tired.
But you [D] don't look _ scared.
Let them laugh while they [Am] can.
_ Let [G] them spin.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] I have been to [F#] the movies.
I've seen hell [G] and _ the [Gm] joy.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ Let them laugh while they [Am] can.
_ Let [G] them spin.
