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

               C                           Fmaj7 
And when I was younger, I knew a boy and a boy
                       C                                  Fmaj7 
Best friends with each other, but always wished they were more
            Am                     G 
'Cause they loved one another, but never discovered
       Fmaj7                               C 
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
                   Fmaj7 
Moved to different states
[Ritornello]
        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
N.C           C  Fmaj7 
Just wait and see
                        C    Fmaj7 
It's not the end of the story
[Versetto]
                   C                      Fmaj7 
Now it's on to the sequel about me and my friend
                      C                       Fmaj7 
Both our parents were evil, so we both made a bet
      Am                            G 
If we worked and we saved, we could both run away
         Fmaj7                         C 
And we'd have a better life, and I was right
                  Fmaj7 
I wonder if she's alright
[Ritornello]
         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
 N.C          C   Fmaj7 
Just wait and see
                        C     Fmaj7 
It's not the end of the story
C Okay

        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
