Just because you find that life's not fair it

F
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it

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

Bb
Nothing will change

Bbsus2
Just because you find yourself in this story

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

Gm
If I think the ending is fixed already

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