version 4
C D
Yes, no, maybe
G
I don't know
Am C
Can you repeat the question?
CHORUS G, Am, D, C
G
You're not the boss of me now
Am
You're not the boss of me now
C D
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
VERSE G, Em, C7, D7
G Em C7 D7 G
Life is unfair, so I just stare at the stain on the wall where
Em C7 D7
The TV'd been, but ever since we've moved in it's been empty
PRE-CHORUS C, D, G, Am, C
C D G
Why I, why I'm in this room
Am C
There is no point explaining
Repeat above chords for the appropriate sections
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
Life is a test, and I confess
I like this mess I've made so far
Grade on a curve and you'll observe
I'm right below the horizon
Yes, no, maybe, I don't know
Can you repeat the question?
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big
