Intro 1
(C major) (D9sus4)
Verse 1
Let me tell you a story (C major)
About a boy and a girl (D9sus4)
It's kinda short, kinda boring (C major)
But the end is a whirl (D9sus4)
They were just (A minor7) sixteen
When the people (E minor/B) were mean
So they (F/C) didn't love themselves
And now they're (C major) gone
Headstones on a lawn (F minoraj9)

Verse 2
And when I was younger (C major)
I knew a boy and a boy (F minoraj9)
Best friends with each other (C major)
But always wished they were more (F minoraj9)
'Cause they loved (A minor7) one another
But never (G6) discovered
'Cause they (F minoraj9) were too afraid
Of what they'd (C major) say
Moved to different states (F minoraj9)
Chorus 1
Oh, and (G6) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
It ain't funny, (C major) it ain't pretty, it ain't (G6) sweet
Oh, and (E minor) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
But I (C major) think that it could work
for you and me (G6)
Just wait and (C major) see (F minoraj9)
It's not the end of the story (C major) (F minoraj9)
Verse 3
Now it's on to the sequel (C major)
About me and my friend (F minoraj9)
Both our parents were evil (C major)
So we both made a bet (F minoraj9)
If we worked (A minor7) and we saved
We could both (G6) run away
And we'd (F minoraj9) have a better life
And I was (C major) right
I wonder if she's alright (F minoraj9)
Chorus 2
Oh, and (G6) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
It ain't funny, (C major) it ain't pretty, it ain't (G6) sweet
Oh, and (E minor) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
But I (C major) think that it could work
for you and me (G6)
Just wait and (C major) see (F minoraj9)
It's not the end of the story (C major) (F minoraj9)
Bridge 1
(C major) And the (F minoraj9) movie's always running in my (C major) head
All the (F minoraj9) people, all the lovers, all my friends (C major)
And I (F minoraj9) hope that they all get their happy end (C major)
In the end (F minoraj9)
Chorus 3
Oh, and (G6) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
It ain't funny, (C major) it ain't pretty, it ain't (G6) sweet
Oh, and (E minor) I'm afraid that's
just the way the (F minoraj9) world works
But I (C major) think that it could work
for you and me (G6)
Just wait and (C major) see (D9sus4)
It's not the end of the story (C major) (D9sus4) (C major)
