The Story Uke tab by Conan Gray

[Verse 1]
                  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



[Verse 2]
           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
‘Cause 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

[Chorus]
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
         C                                G6
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
      C                                    G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
N.C           C    F
Just wait and see
                        C       F
It’s not the end of the story

[Verse 3]
                   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

[Chorus]
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
         C                                G6
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
      C                                    G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
N.C.          C     F
Just wait and see
                        C     F C
It’s not the end of the story


[Bridge]
        F                            C
And the movie’s 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

[Chorus]
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
         C                                G6
It ain’t funny, it ain’t pretty, it ain’t sweet
        Em7                                F
Oh, and I’m afraid that’s just the way the world works
      C                                    G6
But I think that it could work for you and me
N.C.          C     F
Just wait and see
                        C       F C
It’s not the end of the story
