You're feeling nervous, aren't you [Am] boy? _
_ _ _ With your quiet [G] _
voice and _ impeccable [D] _ _
style.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [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 _ face, [Am] 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 talking on your _ [Am] shirt, _ _ _ trying to hide [G] inside of it, then hide how [D] much it hurts.

can, _ _ _ [G] let them spin, _ _ _ let [Gm] them scatter _ _ _ in [D] the wind.

_ Oh, you _ _ get discouraged, don't you [Am] _ girl? _
_ _ Living in [G] your brother's world _ _ for a [D] little while longer. _
_ _ _ We gotta dance with the devil on the river to beat the [Am] stream. _
Oh, gotta live in [G] the _ _ dream, gotta kick [D] in the _ leg.
_ _ _ Only gonna kick dirt in your face, [Am] then call you weak and then displace [G] you.
I could carry you and your baby on your back across [D] the desert. _ _ _ _ _ _
I see your eyes behind your [Am] hair, oh, _ you're [G] looking dire, _ _ but you don't [D] look scared.
_ They'll _ burn you _ if I would [Am] _
care.
