B5 intro

B5
Any 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.

G5               B5
Listen close to everybody's heart

G5                      B5
And hear that breaking sound

G5                    B5
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart

    F#5             A5
And crashing to the ground.


B5                  G5
I cannot believe my eyes

B5                          A5         G5
How the world's filled with filth and lies

         B5       A5
But it's plain to see

       E5       G5          B5
Evil inside of me  is on the rise.

(Penny)

D5
Look around
We're living with the lost and found.
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground

          E5                    B5
And you believe there's good in everybody's heart

E5               B5
Keep it safe and sound.

E5        B5
With hope you can do your part

   A5
To turn a life around

D5                   G5
I cannot believe my eyes

D5                    A5       G5
Is the world finally growing wise?

B5                 A5
Cause it seems to me

             E5    G5          B5
Some kind of harmony  is on the rise.

(Both: Dr Horrible first line, Penny second)

D5
Anyone with half a brain
Take        it     slow

D5
            Could spend their whole life howling in pain
He looks at me and seems                         to know

D5
                    Cause the dark is everywhere And Penny doesn't seem to care
The things that I'm afraid                       to show           And suddenly

D5
That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
I feel                                 this glow

         E5                   B5
         Listen close to      everybody's heart
And I believe there's good in everybody's heart

    E5                 B5
And hear that breaking sound
    Keep it safe   and sound

E5                   B5
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
    With hope you can     do your part

F#5                  A5
And crashing to the ground.
     To turn a life around.

D5                   G5
I cannot believe my eyes
I cannot believe my eyes

D5                           A5         G5
How the world's filled with filth and lies
How the world's finally     growing   wise

         B5                       A5
But it's plain to see
                And it's plain to see

        E5             G5
Evil inside of me
       Rapture inside of me

          B5
is on the rise...
is on the rise...
