From Matilda the Musical Lyrics from matilda-lyrics.x10.mx Chords from the offical piano/vocal song book
FJack and Jill went up the hill to C/Efetch a pail of water, so they say Bbthe subsequent fall was inevitable Bbm/Db They never stood a chance they were written that way FInnocent victims Cof their Bbstory.
FLike Romeo and Juliet, 'Twas written in the Cstars before they even met BbThat love and fate (and a touch of stupidity) Bbm/Db Would rob them of their hope of living happily. FThe endings are often Ca little bit Bbgory. FI wonder why they didn't just Cchange their Bbstory. FWe're told we have to do what we're Ctold, but surBbely BbSometimes you have to be Ca little bit Fnaughty.
[Chorus:]
BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it. GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it, FNothing will change. BbEven if you're little you can do a lot, you F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you. GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you CMight as well be saying A7you think that it's OK, AAnDmd tChat's not right.

FCinderella, in the cellar, CDidn't have to do much as far as I could tell. BbHer Godmother was two thirds fairy. BbSuddenly her lot was a lot less scary. FBut what if you haven't got Ca fairy to fBbix it? BbSometimes you have to make Ca little bitF of mischief.
[Chorus:]
BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it. GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it, FNothing will change. BbEven if you're little you can do a lot, you F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you. GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you CMight as well be saying A7you think that it's OK, AAnDmd tChat's not right. BbAnd if it's not DmrigChtF, you have to put Dmit E7rigA7ht.
DmIn the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt. AThe seeds of a war in the creak of a floorboard. DmA storm can begin with the flap of a wing. BmThe tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting. BbEvery day starts with the tick of a clock. F/AAll escapes start with the click of a lock. GmIf you're stuck in your story and want to get out, F/AYou don't have to cry; you don't have to shout.
Bb'Cause if you're little, you can do a lot, you F/AMustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you. GmIf you sit around and let them get on top, you FWon't change a thing. BbJust because you find that life's not fair, it F/ADoesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it. GmIf you always take it on the chin and wear it, CYou might as well be saying Ayou think that it's OK. And that's not DmrigDm/Cht. BbAnd if it's notDm riC/Eght, Fyou have to putDm itE7 riA7ght.
GmBut nobody else is gonna Cput it right for me. Am7Nobody but me is gonna D7change my story. GmSometimes you have to be Ca little bit CnaFughty.
