Penny's Song - Dr. Horrible's Sing--A-Long Blog


C        F                   Em7              Am
Here's a story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely,
C             F                 Em7            Am         F
thinking love was fairytale and trouble was made only for me. 
C           FM7             C            F
Even in the darkness, every colour can be found, 
    C            FM7               C
and every day of rain brings water flowing 
          Am         G   F
to things growing in the ground.
C              F               Em7         Am
Grief replaced with pity for a city barely copin'. 
C              F              Em7             Am     F
Dreams are easy to achieve if hope is all I'm hopin' to be. 
C              FM7                  C            F
Anytime you're hurt there's one who has it worse around, 
C                 FM7                C
and every drop of rain will keep you growing  
             Am            F
seeds you're sowing in the ground. 
C                     F
So keep your head up, Billy buddy.

You tried to pull today

There will be blood; It might be yours
      A
So go kill someone
