[Verse 1]
                  C                       Fmaj7
Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl
                        C                      Fmaj7
It's kinda short, kinda boring, but the end is a whirl
          Am                   G
They were just sixteen when the people were mean
        Fmaj7                                   C
So they didn't love themselves, and now they're gone
                Fmaj7
Headstones on a lawn


[Verse 2]
               C                           Fmaj7
And when I was younger, I knew a boy and a boy
                       C                                  Fmaj7
Best friends with each other, but always wished they were more
            Am                     G      
'Cause they loved one another, but never discovered
       Fmaj7                               C
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
                   Fmaj7
Moved to different states


[Chorus]
        G                                  Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
         C                                G
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
        Em                                 Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
      C                                    G
But I think that it could work for you and me
N.C           C  Fmaj7
Just wait and see
                        C    Fmaj7
It's not the end of the story


[Verse 3]
                   C                      Fmaj7
Now it's on to the sequel about me and my friend
                      C                       Fmaj7
Both our parents were evil, so we both made a bet
      Am                            G
If we worked and we saved, we could both run away
         Fmaj7                         C
And we'd have a better life, and I was right
                  Fmaj7
I wonder if she's alright


[Chorus]
         G                                 Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
         C                                G
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
        Em                                 Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
      C                                    G
But I think that it could work for you and me
 N.C          C   Fmaj7
Just wait and see
                        C     Fmaj7
It's not the end of the story
C
Okay


[Bridge]
        Fmaj7                        C
And the movie's always runnin' in my head
        Fmaj7                          C
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
      Fmaj7                              C
And I hope that they all get their happy end
       Fmaj7
In the end


[Chorus]
        G                                  Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
         C                                G
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
        Em                                 Fmaj7
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
      C                                    G
But I think that it could work for you and me
N.C           C   Fmaj7
Just wait and see
                          C     Fmaj7  C
That's not the end of the story,hmm,hmm
