D Am7
You' re feeling nervous, aren' t you, boy?
G D
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Am7
Don' t ever let them steal your joy
G D
And your gentle ways, to keep ' em from running wild
They can kick dirt in your face
Am7
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
G D
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
Am7
I see you tugging on your shirt
G D
Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts
D Am7
Let ' em laugh while they can
G Gm D
Let ' em spin, let ' em scatter in the wind

Gm D Am7 G D
And the joke' s on them
D Am7
You get discouraged, don' t you, girl?
G D
It' s your brother' s world for a while longer
D
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
Am7
To beat the stream
G D
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
D
They come to kick dirt in your face
Am7
To call you weak and then displace you
G D
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
Am7
I saw your eyes behind your hair
G D
And you' re looking tired, but you don' t look scared
