[D] .
[Am] .
[G] [D] .
You're feeling nervous, aren't you [Am] boy?.
With your quiet [G] voice, an impeccable [D].
style Don't ever let them steal your [Am] joy.
And your [G] gentle ways to keep them from [D] running wild.
They can kick dirt in your face, [Am] 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 [D] it hurts.
Let them laugh while [Am] they can.
[G] Let them spin, [Gm] let them scatter in [D] the wind.
I have [F#] been to the movies, I've seen [G] it .
[Gm] And the joy.

[Am] [G] .
[D] You get discouraged, don't you [Am] girl?.
It's your [G] brother's world for a while longer.
[D] You gotta dance with the devil on a river to [Am] beat the stream.
Call [G] it living the dream, call it [D] kicking a ladder.
[G] They [D] come to kick dirt in your [Am] face, to call you weak.
And then [G] displace you after carrying your baby on your back [D] across the desert.
I saw your eyes [Am] behind your hair.
And you're [G] looking tired, but you [D] don't look scared.
Let them laugh while [Am] they can.
[G] Let them spin, [Gm] let them scatter in [D] the wind.
I have [F#] been to the movies, I've seen [G] it.
And [Gm] the joy.
