[Intro]
D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm G baritone chordG D baritone chordD

[Verse 1]
D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm
You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Am baritone chordAm
Don't ever let them steal your joy
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
And your gentle ways, to keep 'em from running wild

They can kick dirt in your face
Am baritone chordAm
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
Am baritone chordAm
I see you tugging on your shirt
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts

[Refrain]
D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm
Let 'em laugh while they can
G baritone chordG Gm baritone chordGm D baritone chordD
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
F# baritone chordF# G baritone chordG
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
Gm baritone chordGm D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
And the joke's on them

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

[Refrain]
D baritone chordD Am baritone chordAm
Let 'em laugh while they can
G baritone chordG Gm baritone chordGm D baritone chordD
