Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl
                        C                      F
It's kinda short, kinda boring, but the end is a whirl
          Am                   G
They were just sixteen when the people were mean
        F                                       C
So they didn't love themselves, and now they're gone
                F
Headstones on a lawn
 
 
[Verse 2]
               C                           F
And when I was younger, I knew a boy and a boy
                       C                                  F
Best friends with each other, but always wished they were more
            Am                     G
'Cause they loved one another, but never discovered
       F                                   C
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
                   F
Moved to different states
 
 
[Chorus]
        G                                  F
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                                 F
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

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

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