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 Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Em  Fm  Fmaj7  Fmaj  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
