Key : D
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
D | Am | G 
D

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

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D
They can kick dirt in your face
Am
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
          G
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
D                             Am
 I see you tugging on your shirt
                         G
Trying to hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D        D
 Let 'em laugh while they can
Am        G             Gm             D
  Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
                     F#7
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
G        Gm7          D
 And the joke's on them

[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
Am | G | D 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D                                  Am
 You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
                         G
It's your brother's world for a while longer
D
 We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Am                      G                          D
  Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
     D
They come to kick dirt in your face
   Am
To call you weak and then displace you
      G
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
D                              Am
 I saw your eyes behind your hair
                     G
And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
D        D
 Let 'em laugh while they can
Am        G             Gm             D
  Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
                     F#7                 G
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
        Gm           D
And the joke's on them

[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
Am G D        D                  Am
      Let 'em laugh while they can 

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
        G             Gm             D
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind
                     F#7                 G
I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
        Gm
And the joke's on them

[Instrumental]
---------------------
D    Am  G Gm D
Ooh, ooh,     ooh, ooh
Am       G D Am     G D
Ooh, ooh,   ooh, ooh

[Outro]
