[Intro] C Fmaj7 .........
[Verse 1] C Let me tell you a story Fmaj7 About a boy and a girl C It’s kinda short kinda boring Fmaj7 But the end is a whirl Am They were just 16 G When the people were mean Fmaj7 So they didn’t love themselves C Now they’re gone F Headstones on a lawn
[Verse 2] C When I was younger Fmaj7 I knew a boy and a boy C Best friends with each other Fmaj7 But always wished they were more Am ‘Cause they loved one another G Fmaj7 But ne-ver discovered ‘cause they were too afraid C Of what they’d say Fmaj7 Moved to different states
[Chorus] Em7 F Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works C G6 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 G6 G But I think that it could work for you and me..... C Fmaj7 Just wait and see...... C Fmaj7 It’s not the end of the story......
[Verse 3] C Now it's on to the sequel Fmaj7 About me and my friend C See, both our parents were e-vil Fmaj7 So we both made a bet Am If we worked till we saved G We could both run away Fmaj7 And we’d have a better life C And I was right Fmaj7 I wonder if she’s alright
[Chorus] Em7 F Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works C G6 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 G6 G But I think that it could work for you and me..... C Fmaj7 Just wait and see...... C Fmaj7 It’s not the end of the story......
[Bridge] C F C 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
[Chorus] Em7 F Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works C G6 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 G6 G But I think that it could work for you and me..... C Fmaj7 Just wait and see...... C Fmaj7 It’s not the end of the story......
