[Intro]
| C | - |
[Verse 1]
D7sus2 C D7sus2
Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl
C
It's kinda short, kinda boring,
D7sus2
but the end is a whirl
Am7 Em7
They were jus sixteen when the people were mean
D7sus2/C
So they didn't love themselves,
C
and now they're gone
D7sus2
Headstones on a lawn
[Verse 2]
C
And when I was younger,
D7sus2
I knew a boy and a boy
C
Best friends with each other,
D7sus2
but always wished they were more
Am7
'Cause they loved one another,
Em7
but never discovered
D7sus2/C C
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
D7sus2
Moved to different states
[Chorus]
Oh,
G6 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
G6
it ain't sweet
Oh,
Em7 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
C
Just wait and see
[Post-Chorus]
D7sus2 C
It's not the end of the story
[Verse 3]
D7sus2 C D7sus2
Now it's on to the sequel about me and my friend
C
Both our parents were evil,
D7sus2
so we both made a bet
Am7
If we worked and we saved,
Em7
we could both run away
D7sus2/C
And we'd have a better life,
C
and I was right
D7sus2
I wonder if she's alright
[Chorus]
Oh,
G6 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
G6
it ain't sweet
Oh,
Em7 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
C
Just wait and see
[Post-Chorus]
D7sus2 C
It's not the end of the story
D7sus2
Okay
[Bridge]
C Fmaj7 C
And the movie's always runnin' in my head
Fmaj7
All the people, all the lovers,
C
all my friends
Fmaj7 C
And I hope that they all get their happy end
Fmaj7
In the end
[Chorus]
Oh,
G6 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty,
G6
it ain't sweet
Oh,
Em7 Fadd9
and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
C G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
C
Just wait and see
[Outro]
D7sus2 C
It's not the end of the story,
D7sus2 C
Hmm, hmm
