[Intro]
C Fmaj7 x2

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


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


[Chorus]
        G                          
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the 
        Fmaj7
way the world works

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


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


[Chorus]
         G                         
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the 
        Fmaj7
way the world works
         C                         
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it
       G
 ain't sweet
        Em                         
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the 
        Fmaj7
way the world works
      C                            
But I think that it could work for 
        G
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                      
And the movie's always runnin' in 
  C
my head
        Fmaj7                      
All the people, all the lovers, all
    C
 my friends
      Fmaj7                        
And I hope that they all get their 
      C
happy end
       Fmaj7
In the end


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