[Verse 1]
F                                
Jack and Jill went up the hill to
C/E                               
fetch a pail of water, so they say
Bb                                
the subsequent fall was inevitable
Bbm/Db                                              
They never stood a chance they were written that way
F               
Innocent victims
C        Bb    
of their story.
F                                          
Like Romeo and Juliet, 'Twas written in the
C                         
stars before they even met
Bb                                           
That love and fate (and a touch of stupidity)
Bbm/Db                                         
Would rob them of their hope of living happily.
F                    
The endings are often
C            Bb   
a little bit gory.
F                            
I wonder why they didn't just
C            Bb    
change their story.
F                                  
We're told we have to do what we're
C            Bb 
told, but surely
Bb                      
Sometimes you have to be
C            F       
a little bit naughty.

[Chorus]
Bb                                            
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A                                                 
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm                                            
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
F                   
Nothing will change.
Bb                                         
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/A                                               
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm                                            
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
C                      
Might as well be saying
A7                     
you think that it's OK,
A Dm C               
And that's not right.
[Interlude]Bb C/E F Bb

[Verse 2]
F                         
Cinderella, in the cellar,
C                                             
Didn't have to do much as far as I could tell.
Bb                                 
Her Godmother was two thirds fairy.
Bb                                    
Suddenly her lot was a lot less scary.
F                          
But what if you haven't got
C           Bb    
a fairy to fix it?
Bb                        
Sometimes you have to make
C           F            
a little bit of mischief.

[Chorus]
Bb                                            
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A                                                 
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm                                            
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
F                   
Nothing will change.
Bb                                         
Even if you're little you can do a lot, you
F/A                                               
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm                                            
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
C                      
Might as well be saying
A7                     
you think that it's OK,
A Dm C               
And that's not right.
Bb              Dm C F
And if it's not right,
                Dm E7 A7 
you have to put it right.

[Verse 3]
Dm                                           
In the slip of a bolt, there's a tiny revolt.
A                                               
The seeds of a war in the creak of a floorboard.
Dm                                        
A storm can begin with the flap of a wing.
Bm                                         
The tiniest mite packs the mightiest sting.
Bb                                        
Every day starts with the tick of a clock.
F/A                                        
All escapes start with the click of a lock.
Gm                                                
If you're stuck in your story and want to get out,
F/A                                            
You don't have to cry; you don't have to shout.
Bb                                            
'Cause if you're little, you can do a lot, you
F/A                                               
Mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
Gm                                            
If you sit around and let them get on top, you
F                    
Won't change a thing.
Bb                                            
Just because you find that life's not fair, it
F/A                                                 
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
Gm                                            
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
C                          
You might as well be saying
A                      
you think that it's OK.
               Dm Dm/C
And that's not right.
Bb             Dm C/E 
And if it's not right,
F              Dm E7 A7  
you have to put it right.
Gm                      
But nobody else is gonna
C                   
put it right for me.
Am7                   
Nobody but me is gonna
D7              
change my story.
Gm                      
Sometimes you have to be
C            C F     
a little bit naughty.
Ends on F
