That mums don't think are fun.

            Bbsus2
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

     Dbdim/A      Dbdim        Dm
And    that's       not       right!
