[Am] [G]
[D]
You're feeling nervous, aren't you [Am] boy?
With your quiet [G] voice and impeccable [D]
style.
[E] [D]
Don't ever let them steal your [Am] 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 is in [G] 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 them live while they [Am] can.
Let [G] them spin, let them [Gm] scatter.
[D]
I've been to [F#] the movies, I've seen it [G]
all.
And [Gm] the jokes are

[D]
[E] [D]
You get discouraged, don't you girl?
[Am]
It's your brother's [G] 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 them live while [Am] they can.
Let [G] them spin, let [Gm] them scatter.
