[F]When I grow up [C]
I will be t[Bb]all enough to reach the branches
[Bbm]That I need to reach to climb the t[F]rees
You get to c[C]limb when you're grown [Bb]up

[F]And when I grow up [C]
I will be sm[Bb]art enough to answer all
The qu[Bbm]estions that you need to know
The a[F]nswers to [C]before you're grown [Bb]up

[Bbsus2]And when I grow up
I will [F]eat sweets every day
On the [Gm]way to work and I will
Go to [F]bed late every night
[Bbsus2]And I will wake up
When the [F]sun comes up and I
Will watch [Gm]cartoons until my eyes go square
[Edim] [C] or Bbmdim [C7] [Bb]
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up
[F]/[Dm]
When I grow up

[F]When I grow up (when I grow [C]up, when I grow up)
I will be [Bb]strong enough to carry all
The h[Bbm]eavy things you have to haul
[F]Around with you when [C]you're a grown [Bb]up

[F]When I grow up (when I grow [C]up, when I grow up)
I will be b[Bb]rave enough to fight the creatures
[Bbm]That you have to fight beneath the b[F]ed
Each night to [C]be a grown [Bb]up

[Bsus2]And when I grow up
I will h[F]ave treats every day
And I'll [Gm]play with things that mum pretends
That m[F]ums don't think are fun
[Bbsus2]And I will wake up
When the s[F]un comes up and I
Will spend all [Gm]day just lying in the sun
[Edim] [C] or Bbmdim [C7] [Bb]
And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up
[F]/[Dm]
When I grow up

[F] [C] [Bb] [Bbm] [F] [C] [Bb]

(Miss Honey:)
[F]When I grow up [C]
I will be b[Bb]rave enough to fight the creatures
[Bbm]That you have to fight beneath the b[F]ed
Each night to [C]be a grown [Bb]up

When I grow up

(Matilda)
[Bbsus2]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

(When I grow up)

[Bbsus2]Just because you find yourself in this story
It d[F]oesn'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

And that's not right
