I will eat sweets every day on the way to work

Dm C Bb
When I grow up.

I will be strong enough to carry all

The heavy things you have to haul around with you
C Bb
When you're a grown up.

And when I grow up,

That you have to fight beneath the bed each night

When I grow up...
(Bbsus2)
Just because you think that life's not fair, it
F/A
Doesn't meant that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm7
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
F
Nothing will change.
Bbsus2
Just because I find myself in this story, it
F/A
Doesn't mean that everything is written for me,
Gm7
If I think the ending is fixed already
C Dbdim
I might as well be saying I think that it's OK
