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
