I?m mad about the boy              and  I know it?s stupid          to be mad about the boy 
      Bm7/b5              E7    Bm7/b5                          E7                       Bm7/b5             E7     Bm7/b5 
 
I?m so ashamed of it             but must admit           the sleepless nights I?ve had  
             E7                                  Am                           Am7+          6           B7      E7 
 
about the boy. 
               A       Am  A6 
 
                                                                                                          sin 
Oh on the silver screen      he melts my foolish heart       in every single scene 
 
 
Although I?m quite aware         that here and there      are traces      of a cad 
                                                                                                           B7 
  
about the boy 
               E7             Bm7/b5     E B9 
 
 
Lord knows                 I?m not a fool girl                  I really shouldn?t care. 
        Am          B7                       Em                    Em7/b5 Edim    A7       Am 
 
Lord knows              I?m not a schoolgirl            who?s in the flurry      of her first affair. 
    Dm7/b5       Eb9                     Am                                       B7                            Bm7/b5      E7 
                                                   our 
Who will it ever cloy                  this odd diversity          of misery and joy. 
 
 
I?m feeling quite insane               and young again 
 
 
And all because I?m mad               about the boy.  
 
 
Spero sia giusta. Piero Bosca
