[G] [D]
You're feeling nerdy, so aren't you [G] [Am] boy with your quiet [G] voice.
[D] Don't
[Em] [D] ever let them steal your [Am] joy.
And your gentle [G] ways to keep them from running [D] wild.
Yeah, you keep dirt in your face.
[Am] Dress it down until you get your places in [G] the middle.
When they hate the way you [D] shine.
This is tugging on your [Am] shirt.
Trying to hide [G] inside of it.
And hide how much it [D] hurts.
You need to let them live while [Am] they can.
Let [G] them spin.
Let [Gm] them scare.
[A] [D]
[A] I have [Em] been to [F#] the movies.
[G]
[Gm] Let them cheat.
[D]
[Am]
[G]
[D] You need to get this girl in it.
Aren't you [Am] girl?
[Em]
Living [G] in a brother's world.
Oh, you [D] look like a devil.
Looking like a devil with a devil on her lips.
You're gonna feed the [Am] stream.
Oh, gonna [G] live in the dream.
Oh, look at [D] me.
I'm not [Em] living that [D] life.
I'm living [Am] my way.
This place [G] is wild.
I'm coming to put you on the back of the bus.
[D] There's a sea of eyes.
[Am]
You're looking [G] dire.
[D]
Let them spin.
Let them bounce.
[Am]
Let [G] them spin.
Let [Gm] them scare.
You know [D] where.
[F#]
You need to [G] let
[Gm]
[D]
[Am]
