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

     G+G

When the people? were mean

    FF

So they didn’t love themselves

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

   G+G           FF

But never discovered ‘cause they were too afraid

        C majorC

Of what they’d say

          FF

Moved to different states

It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet

Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works

See, both our parents were evil

         FF

So we both made a bet

   A minorAm

If we worked till we saved

     G+G

We could both run away

     FF

And we’d have a better life

     C majorC

And I was right

I wonder if she’s alright
