Chords for The Story

_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _
[C] Let me tell you a story, about [D] a boy and a girl
It's [C] kinda short, kinda boring, but [D] the end is a whirl _
[Am] They were just [Bm] 16 when the people [C] were mean, so they didn't love themselves
And now they're gone, [D] headstones on
[F] And [C] when I was younger, I knew [F] a boy and a boy _
[C] Best friends with each other, but [F] always wished they were more _
[Am] Cause they loved one [G] another, but never [C] discovered
Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved [D] to different [C] states _
[G] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just [C] the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, [G] it ain't sweet
[Em] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just [Gm] the way the world [C] works
But I think that it could work for [G] you and me
Just [C] wait and see
It's [F] _ _ not [C] the end of the story
_ _ [F] _ _ Now [C] it's on to the sequel, about [F] me and my friend
Both our [C] parents were evil, so we [F] both made a bet _
[Am] If we worked and we [G] saved, we could both run [F] away
And we'd have a better life, and [C] I was right
I wonder [F] if she's alright _ _
[G] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the [C] way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, [G] it ain't sweet _
[Em] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the [C] way the world works
But I think that it could work for you [G] and me
_ Just [C] wait and see
_ _ [F] _ _ It's not the [C] end of the story
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] And the movie's always [C] running in my head
[D] All the people, all the lovers, all [C] my friends
_ [F] And I hope that they all get their [C] happy ends
In [F] the end _
[G] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the [F] way the world works
It [C] ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it [G] ain't sweet
Oh, [Em] and I'm afraid that's just the [F] way the world works
But [C] I think that it could work for you [G] and me
_ Just [C] wait and see
_ _ [F] _ _ [C] It's not the end of the story
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
