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.
You let them laugh while they [Am]
can, [G] let them spin, let [Gm] them scatter in [D] the wind.

ass in the [Gm]
churchyard.

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.
