Verse 1:
         C majorC
Let me tell you a story
         FF
About a boy and a girl
            C majorC
It's kinda short kinda boring
         FF
But the end is a whirl
        A minorAm
They were just 16
           Am7Am7
When the people were mean
     FF
So they didn't love themselves
      C majorC
Now they're gone
        FF
Headstones on a lawn

Verse 2:
        C majorC
When I was younger
          FF
I knew a boy and a boy
            C majorC
Best friends with each other
              FF
But always wished they were more
      A minorAm
Cause they loved one another
  Am7Am7        FF
But never discovered cause they were too afraid
        C majorC
Of what they'd say
          FF
Moved to different states


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

Verse 3:
           C majorC
Now it's on to the sequel
         FF
About me and my friend
              C majorC
See, both our parents were evil
         FF
So we both made a bet
   A minorAm
If we worked and we saved
     Am7Am7
We could both run away
     FF
And we'd have a better life
     C majorC
And I was right
         FF
I wonder if she's alright


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


Bridge:
                  C majorC
And the movies always running in my head
    FF               C majorC
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
   FF                 C majorC
And I hope that they all get their happy end
    FF
In the end


Chorus:
    G+G                 FF
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works

It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
                      FF
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
   C majorC                  G+G
But I think that it could work for you and me
