F              C
When I grow up
          Bb
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
Bbm                               F
That I need to reach to climb the trees
           C                          Bb
You get to climb when you're grown up


F                   C
And when I grow up
          Bb
I will be smart enough to answer all
    Bbm
The questions that you need to know
    F            C                    Bb
The answers to before you're grown up


Bbadd9
And when I grow up
       F
I will eat sweets everyday
       Gm7
On the way to work and I will go
   F
To bed late every night


Bbadd9
And I will wake up
         F
When the sun comes up and I
              Gm7
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square


    C7                      
And I won't care
       A7
'Cause I'll be all grown up
Dm   C      Bbmaj
When I grow up


F
When I grow up
             C
(When I grow up, when I grow up)
          Bbmaj
I will be strong enough to carry all
    Gm7
The heavy things you have to haul
F                    C              Bbadd9
Around with you when you're a grown up


F
And when I grow up
             C
(When I grow up, when I grow up)
          Bbmaj
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
Gm7
That you have to fight beneath the bed
F             C             Bbadd9
Each night to be a grown up


                Bbadd9
And when I grow up (and when I grow up)
       F
I will have treats evey day
         Gm7
And I'll play with things that mum pretends
     F
That mums don't think are fun


                Bbadd9
And I will wake up (and I will wake up)
         F
When the sun comes up and I
               Gm7
Will spend all day just lying in the sun
    C7                 A7
And I won't burn cause I'll be all grown up
Dm   C        Bbmaj
When I grow up


F C Bbadd9 Bbm F C Bbadd9


F               C
When I grow up
          Bb
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
Bbm                                F
That you have to fight beneath the bed
              C           Bbadd9
Each night to be a grown up

            Bbadd9
When I grow up

Just because you find that life's not fair
   F
It 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

            Bbadd9
When I grow up

Just because I find myself in this story
   F
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me
Gm7
If I think the ending is fixed already
  C
I might as well be saying
  A7
I think that it's OK
    A      A   Dm
And that's not right
