BmAny dolt with half a brain
Can see that human kind has gone insane
To the point where i don't know
If I'll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main.
GListen close to Bmeverybody's heart
GAnd hear that breaking Bmsound
GHopes and dreams are Bmshattering apart
And F#mcrashing to the Aground.
BmI cannot believe my Geyes
BmHow the world's filled with Afilth and Glies
But it's Bmplain to Asee
Evil inE/G#side of me  Gis on the Bmrise.
(Penny)
DLook around
We're living with the lost and found.
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
And you beEmlieve there's good in Bmeverybody's heart
EmKeep it safe and Bmsound.
EmWith hope Bmyou can do your part
To Aturn a life around
DI cannot believe my Geyes
DIs the world finally Agrowing Gwise?
BmCause it seems to mAe
Some kind of E/G#harmony  Gis on the Bmrise.
(Both: Dr Horrible first line, Penny second)
DAnyone with half a brain
Take        it     slow
            DCould spend their whole life howling in pain
He looks at me and seems                         to know
                    DCause the dark is everywhere And Penny doesn't seem to care
The things that I'm afraid                       to show           And suddenly
DThat soon the dark in me is all that will remain
I feel                                 this glow
         EmListen close to      Bmeverybody's heart
And I believe there's good in everybody's heart
And Emhear that breaking Bmsound
    Keep it safe   and sound
