The Joke

[Intro]  D  Am7  G  D

D                                 
You're feeling nervous, aren't 
   Am7
you, boy?
                G                 
With your quiet voice and impeccable
D
 style
                               Am7
Don't ever let them steal your joy
                  G              
And your gentle ways, to keep 'em 
                D
from running wild

They can kick dirt in your face
Am7
Dress you down, and tell you that 
your place
          G                        
Is in the middle, when they hate 
              D
the way you shine
                           Am7
I see you tugging on your shirt
                  G                
Trying to hide inside of it and 
               D
hide how much it hurts

      D                  Am7
Let 'em laugh while they can
          G         Gm            
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in 
  D
the wind

I have been to the movies, I've 
          G
seen how it ends
        Gm          D
And the joke's on them

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

      D                  Am7
Let 'em laugh while they can
          G         Gm            
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in 
  D
the wind

        Gm          D
And the joke's on them

      D         Am7
Let 'em laugh while they can
      G         Gm          D
Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the
 wind
           F#                 G
I have been to the movies, I've seen
 how it ends
     Gm       D    Am7 - G - Gm
And the joke's on them
