Intro 1
(D major) (A minor) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy? (A minor)
With your quiet voice (G major) and impeccable (D major) style
(D major) Don't ever let them steal your joy (A minor)
And your gentle ways, (G major)
to keep 'em from running wild (D major)
(D major) They can kick dirt in your face
(A minor) Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the (G major) middle,
when they hate the way you shine (D major)
(D major) I see you tugging on your shirt (A minor)
Trying to hide inside (G major) of it
and hide how much it hurts (D major)

Let 'em (D major) laugh while they can (A minor)
Let 'em (G major) spin, let 'em (G minor) scatter in the wind (D major)

Verse 2
(D major) You get discouraged, don't you, girl? (A minor)
It's your brother's world (G major) for a while longer (D major)
We gotta (D major) dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream (A minor)
Call it living the dream, (G major)
call it kicking the lad (D major) der
They (D major) come to kick dirt in your face
To (A minor) call you weak and then displace you
After (G major) carrying your baby on your back
across the desert (D major)
(D major) I saw your eyes behind your hair (A minor)
And you're looking tired, (G major)
but you don't look (D major) scared
