 [VERSE ONE]
 C                              Gm
 Feeling nervous, aren't you, boy?
                  F                           C
 With your quiet voice and your impeccable style
  C                              Gm
 Don't ever let them steal your joy
                 F                               C
 Or your gentle ways, to keep them from running wild

  C
 They can kick dirt in your face
  Gm                                                      F
 Dress you down, and tell you that your place is in the middle
 F                        C
 When they hate the way you shine

 C                           Gm
 I see you tugging on your shirt
                   F                                 C
 Trying to hide inside of it and hide how much it hurts

 [CHORUS]
           C              Gm
 Let 'em laugh while they can
          F
 Let 'em spin
          Fm               C
 Let 'em scatter in the wind
 C                  E                          F
 I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends
          Fm          C
 And the joke's on them

 [VERSE TWO]
 C                                Gm
 You get discouraged, don't you, girl?
                       F                  C
 It's your brother's world for a while longer
           1S                                            Gm
 You gotta dance with the devil on a river to beat the stream
                       F                        C   
 Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder

       C
 They come to kick dirt in your face
   Gm
 Dress you down and then displace you
          F                                           C
 After carrying your baby on your back across the desert

 C                            Gm
 I saw your eyes behind your hair
                     F                              C
 And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared

 I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends

 And the joke's on them

 And the joke's on them
