[Verse]
C                        
■ Let me tell you a story
C                     
About a boy and a girl
     C                       
It's kinda short kinda boring
C                     
But the end is a whirl
     Am7              
They were just sixteen
     G                   
When the people were mean
   C                F         
So they didn't love themselves
        C           
And now they're gone
C                   
Headstones on a lawn
         C            
And when I was younger
  C                   
I knew a boy and a boy
C                           
Best friends with each other
                                 Fmaj7
But always wished they were more ■    
Am7                          
'cause they loved one another
G                   
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                                            
But I think that it could work for you and me
G               C  
■ Just wait and see
Fmaj7          C                   
■     It's not the end of the story

F C                        
■ Now it's on to the sequel
                       F
About me and my friend ■
         C                
Both our parents were evil
                      F
So we both made a bet ■
                    G    
If we worked and 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
       Em7                                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      
Just wait and see
F                         C     F
■ It's not the end of the story ■
C          F                                C   
■ Okay 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 all get their happy end
       F   Dm7
In the end ■  
   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


[Outro]
          C       F
Just wait and see ■
                    C  
It's not the end of the
