Chords for Brandi Carlile - The Joke - 11/12/17 - Bardavon 1869 Opera House

[D] I gotta be careful [B] about how I introduce that song because Evangeline's been like lately she'll listen to me do it and I'll come [N] backstage and she's like
Why did you hold me while you're sleeping and push me?
You can go I'm like _
[D] _ [B] You're telling the truth
I was like I wish [D] that could be a song for me
Or [N] if you used to take fucking forever to [D] fall asleep
I was like
_ _ I don't know
I don't know
[N] This next song is our single
It's _ _ _ a special song and it comes out tomorrow
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I wrote _ _ this song
Well it's been almost a year [E] since I sat in the [G] London Heathrow Airport [N] crying my eyes out over the election
It's weird to be in another country and something like that
And I was just devastated And I knew
I knew what was to come
And I wanted to get back in a black hat And
Go back to Clapham Junction and look for a flat for rent
And be there with my girls
And write out the next four years
Because it's only going to be four god damn years
And _ _ _ _ _ I was like no man
I'm a little folk singer
I have to go home and write [D] folk songs
And _ for the For the
For the marginalized
For the illegal and the unloved
For the unaccepted
For the marginalized
My _ _ _ _ _ camp is off on the other side
Love has already conquered the world
We know and we've seen how this ends It's called
_ You're _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ feeling nervous
[G] Aren't you [Am] boy
With your quiet [G] voice
And every pack of [D] horse Stopping
_ Don't ever let them
Steal [Am] your joy
And [G] your gentle ways
If you don't come right [D] away
_ _ _ Won't you
Turn your face
[Am] Dress you down
Until you get to places [G] in the middle
Where they hate the way you [D] should
I _ _ see you talking on your [Am] shirt
Try to [G] hide and start a
And hide how much it [D] hurts
Let _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] them spin _
Let them [Gm] scare
Let them go
_ [D] I _ [Em] can tell [F#] the moon
_ _ [G] _ _ _
And [Gm] the sea
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ You get discouraged
Don't you [Am] girl
_ [G] It's your brother's world
For a while longer
[D] _ _ You gotta dance with his
On the river and [Am] people scream
And call [G] it living the dream
Call it kicking the [D] ladder
They _ call it get dirt in your face
They [Am] call you weak and then [G] Displacing
To carry your baby on your back
[D] Across the desert
I _ _ saw your eyes
Behind your [Am] hair
And [G] you're looking tired
But you don't [D] look Scared
_ _ Let _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] them spin _
Let [Gm] them scare
Let _ [D] _ _ _
[G] them go [F#] I'm hungry
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ For a little while [Am] longer
Let [G] them spin
Let [Gm] them scare
_ [D] _ Let them go
I miss [F#] the movies
_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
