The catchy theme tune from on of my favourite childhood TV series, Malcolm in the Middle, “Boss of Me” has since become one of They Might Be Giants’ most popular tracks.
It’s nice and easy, and really fun to play! Highly recommended for beginners 🙂
G G G-G G A B
Yes, no, maybe, I don’t know
B B B-^C B G-E
Can you repeat the question?
(CHORUS x2)
B B A B A B ^D
You’re not the boss of me now
B B A B A B ^D
You’re not the boss of me now
B B A B A B ^D
You’re not the boss of me now
^C B ^C B A
And you’re not so big…
D G A-B G A G Bb
Life is unfair so I just stare
G A B A A G A
At the stain on the wall where
D G-A B G A-G Bb
The TV’d been but ever since
G A B A A G-A
We’ve moved in, it’s been empty
G G A A G A B
Why I’m, why I’m in this room
B B B ^C B-G-E
There is no point explaining…
B B A B A B ^D
You’re not the boss of me now
^C B ^C B A
And you’re not so big…
