Cm                      Am
Tell me when you're sad

I'm gonna make it cool again
Cm                     Am
I know you're feeling bad

Tell me when you're cool again

Chorus:

Who'd have ever thought of it

That a small town girl like you

Would be the boss of me

You fly through the night
With tears on your lips
Life has your mind and soul
It spins on your hips

I look to the stars as they flicker and float in your eyes
    A#                                         Cm Am A# F
And under these wings of steel the small town dies

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me

Who'd have ever thought of it
Who'd have ever dreamed
That a small town girl like you
Would be the boss of me

Would be the boss of me
Would be the boss of me
