Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) 'How to Play It' video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgNE78O545o&t=269s Verse 1: C Let me tell you a story F About a boy and a girl C It's kinda short kinda boring F But the end is a whirl Am They were just 16 G When the people were mean F So they didn't love themselves C Now they're gone F Headstones on a lawn
Verse 2: C When I was younger F I knew a boy and a boy C Best friends with each other F But always wished they were more Am Coz they loved one another G F But never discovered cause they were too afraid C 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 C F Just wait and see C F It's not the end of the story
Verse 3: C Now it's on to the sequel F About me and my friend C See, both our parents were evil F So we both made a bet Am If we worked till we saved G We could both run away F And we'd have a better life C 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 C F Just wait and see C F C It's not the end of the story Bridge: F C And the movies always running in my head F C All the people, all the lovers, all my friends F C And I hope that they'll all get their happy end F In the end 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 C F Just wait and see C F C It's not the end of the story
