When I grow up

(Matilda)
Bbsus2Just because you find that life's not fair it
FDoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it
BbNothing will change

(When I grow up)

Bbsus2Just because you find yourself in this story
    FIt doesn't mean that everything is written for me
GmIf I think the ending is fixed already
Bbdim                          I might as well be saying I think that it's OK


And that's not right
