That you have to fight beneath the bed

              C          Bb
Each night to be a grown up

Bbsus2
Just because you find that life's not fair it

F/A
Doesn't mean 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 you find yourself in this story

    F/A
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me

Gm7
If I think the ending is fixed already

Bbdim/C                       A7/C#               
I might as well be saying I think that it's OK

    A          Dm
And that's not right!
