To be a grown up.

(Bflatsus2)                       
Just because you think that life's not fair, it

F5
Doesn't meant that you just have to grin and bear it.

Gmin7
If you always take it on the chin and wear it

F5
Nothing will change.

Bflatsus2
Just because I find myself in this story, it

F5
Doesn't mean that everything is written for me,

Gmin7
If I think the ending is fixed already

   C5                        Dflatdim
I might as well be saying I think that it's OK

     Dflatdim/A5   Dflatdim    D5
And    that's       not       right!
