Verse1
F C C# A#
Heaven, have mercy on the hypnic jerk
F C A#
you blame for your speech
F C C#
Walk around the block again
Bb F
Wait 'til I feel cool and straight
C A# F#
With a diaristic bent on undertaking
[Pre-Chorus]
G# F#
Careful, steady
G# F#
Are we steady?
G# F#
Cruel and ready
[Chorus]
F C# F
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
C# F
Shooter, not the shot
C# F C#
On the tip and fit to execute
F C# F
I'm chief, not the overthrown
C# F
Captain, not a crony
C# F A# G# F
So if you wanna row, you better have an awfully big boat
C# F C# F C# F A# G#
Boat, boat, boat
G# F# G# F# G# F#
[Verse 2]
F C C# A#
Holding a package from a total stranger
F C A#
who claims to know me
F C C# A#
No, you never knew me, man, not even a fraction
F C A# F#
You just glimpsed your own reflection in a gold sheen
[Chorus]
F C# F
I'm not bossy, I'm the boss
C# F
Shooter, not the shot
C# F C#
Well-composed with keys to raise the skate
F C# F
I'm chief, not the overthrown
C# F
Captain, not a crony
C# F A# G# F
So if you wanna throw, you better have an awfully big stone
C# F C# F C# F A# G#
Stone, stone, stone
C# F C# F C# F A# G#
Stone, stone, stone
G# F# G# F# G# F#
[Bridge]
F C# F C#
We could hang out for the summer while you wait for your girl
G# G7 G# A#
Dip a toe 'til it's soaked and freezing
F C# F C#
But just because I let you kill time dangling me
G# G7 G# A#
from the quarry doesn't mean that I won't land on my feet
[Chorus]
That's cause I'm the boss
Caller of the shots
Sutanejo, never spit to me
Chief, play my own right hand
Not haggish, but the hag
How naïve to trample
She who's running from the stampede
I'm raising the skate
Look, I'm raising the skate

version 2
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
First tab so try not to be too harsh, it sounds pretty good to me. Only managed to tab Sadie's parts but I'm
pretty sure Devin mostly plays the rhythm which sounds mostly the same throughout. Feel free to comment with
any suggestions.
