Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you a [C]story
About a boy and a [Dm]girl
It's kinda short, kinda [C]boring
But the end is a [Dm]whirl
They were [Am]just sixteen
When the [G]people were mean
So they [F]didn't love themselves
And now [C]they're gone
Headstones on a [F]lawn

[Verse 2]
And when I was [C]younger
I knew a boy and a [F]boy
Best friends with each [C]other
But always wished they were [F]more
'Cause they [Am]loved one another
But [G]never discovered
'Cause [F]they were too afraid
Of what [C]they'd say
Moved to different [F]states

[Chorus 1]
Oh, and [G]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
It ain't [C]funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't [G]sweet
Oh, and [Em]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
But I [C]think that it could work
for you and [G]me
Just wait [C]and [F]see
It's not the end of the [C]story[F]

[Verse 3]
Now it's on to the [C]sequel
About me and my [F]friend
Both our parents were [C]evil
So we both made a [F]bet
If we [Am]worked and we saved
We could [G]both run away
And we'd [F]have a better life
And I [C]was right
I wonder if she's al[F]right

[Chorus 2]
Oh, and [G]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
It ain't [C]funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't [G]sweet
Oh, and [Em]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
But I [C]think that it could work
for you and me
Just wait [C]and [F]see
It's not the end of the [C]story[F]

[Bridge 1]
[C]And the mov[F]ie's always running in my hea[C]d
All the [F]people, all the lovers, all my [C]friends
And I [F]hope that they all get their happy [C]end
In the [F]end

[Chorus 3]
Oh, and [G]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
It ain't [C]funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't [G]sweet
Oh, and [Em]I'm afraid that's
just the way the [F]world works
But I [C]think that it could work
for you and me
Just wait [C]and [Dm]see
It's not the end of the [C]story[Dm][C]
