The Story Live chords by Conan Gray

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

‘Cause 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:

        Em7                                F

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

         C                                G6

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

        Em7                                F

Oh, 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

N.C           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:

        Em7                                F

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

         C                                G6

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

        Em7                                F

Oh, 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

N.C.          C     F

Just wait and see

                        C     F C

It’s not the end of the story

And the movie’s 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

Just wait and see

                        C       F C

It’s not the end of the story
