                    C                     Fmaj7
Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl
                         C                        Fmaj7
It's kinda short, kinda boring, but the end is a whirl
           Am                    G
They were just sixteen when the people were mean
         Fmaj7                                   C
So they didn't love themselves, and now they're gone
               Fmaj7
Headstones on a lawn

And when I was younger, I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other, but always wished they were more
'Cause they loved one another, but never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved to different states

Chorus:
        G                                  Fmaj7
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                                 Fmaj7
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 Fmaj7
Just wait and see
                          C  Fmaj7
It's not the end of the story

Now it's on to the sequel about me and my friend
Both our parents were evil, so we both made a bet
If we worked and we saved, we could both run away
And we'd have a better life, and I was right
I wonder if she's alright

Chorus

        Fmaj7                         C
And the movie's always runnin' in my head
        Fmaj7                            C
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
      Fmaj7                              C
And I hope that they all get their happy end
       Fmaj7
In the end
