[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
                     O.C
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
    O.C               F
But never discovered cause they were too afraid
               C
Of what they'd say
                    F
Moved to different states


[Chorus]
        Em                                  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
 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 and we saved
         O.C
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]
        Em                                  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
  N.C         C   F
Just wait and see
                         C     F
It's not the end of the story


[Bridge]
                                    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 all get their happy end
       F
In the end


[Chorus]
        Em                                  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
 N.C          C     F
Just wait and see
                        C      F   C
It's not the end of the story
