Conan Gray – The Story (Ukulele Live)

                   C
Let me tell you a story

                  F
About a boy and a girl

                       C
It's kinda short kinda boring

                 F
But the end is a whirl

          Am
They were just 16

         G
When the people were mean

         F
So they didn't love themselves

            C
Now they're gone

                F
Headstones on a lawn

            C
When I was younger

                   F
I knew a boy and a boy

                       C
Best friends with each other

                            F
But always wished they were more

          Am
Coz they loved one another

    G                                    F
But never discovered cause they were too afraid

               C
Of what they'd say

                   F
Moved to different states

         G                                 F
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                                   F
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                    F
Just wait and see

                         C         F
It's not the end of the story

                   C
Now it's on to the sequel

                F
About me and my friend

                           C
See, both our parents were evil

                  F
So we both made a bet

      Am
If we worked till we saved

         G
We could both run away

         F
And we'd have a better life

          C
And I was right

                  F
I wonder if she's alright

         G                                 F
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                                   F
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                    F
Just wait and see

                         C         F         C
It's not the end of the story

        F                           C
And the movies always running in my head

        F                               C
All the people, all the lovers, all my friends

       F                                    C
And I hope that they'll all get their happy end

       F
In the end

         G                                 F
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                                   F
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                    F
Just wait and see

                         C         F         C
It's not the end of the story
