FF         C majorC
When I grow up

BbmBbm                FF

On the way to work and I will
   FF
Go to bed late every night
Bbsus2Bbsus2
And I will wake up

When the sun comes up and I

Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
  EdimEdim        C majorC or Bbmdim      C7C7 Bb majorBb

      F/Dm
When I grow up

FF              C majorC
When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)
     Bb majorBb
I will be strong enough to carry all
   BbmBbm
The heavy things you have to haul
FF          C majorC       Bb majorBb
Around with you when you're a grown up

FF              C majorC
When I grow up (when I grow up, when I grow up)
      Bb majorBb
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
BbmBbm                 FF
That you have to fight beneath the bed
       C majorC     Bb majorBb
Each night to be a grown up

Bsus2Bsus2
And when I grow up
    FF
I will have treats every day
     G minorGm
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
   FF
That mums don't think are fun
Bbsus2Bbsus2
And I will wake up
     FF
When the sun comes up and I
        G minorGm
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
  EdimEdim        C majorC or Bbmdim     C7C7 Bb majorBb
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up

When I grow up

(Matilda)
Bbsus2Bbsus2
Just because you find that life's not fair it
FF
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
G minorGm
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Bb majorBb
Nothing will change

(When I grow up)

Bbsus2Bbsus2
Just because you find yourself in this story
  FF
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
G minorGm
If I think the ending is fixed already
BbdimBbdim
I might as well be saying I think that it's OK


And that's not right
