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
