[G] [Fm] [N]
Next time I get you, huh?
I'll make you pay.
All right.
Bye, General.
Bye-bye, pussy-man.
Hey, you guys.
Look at this.
We got a note from Penny.
Penny?
Great.
All my dearest friends, the time has been too long since I've been able to write to you.
My life now seems like it has always been this way, and I am so very happy at last.
Please, please, tell the one who is so special that my sweet love never went away.

[A]
[E] [A] I need you.
[D] I don't [A] want anymore.
[E] [A] [E] Because [F#m] when a man's in love, [E] he's only got [F#m] one story.
[E] [F#m] That's [Bm] why my love is somewhere.
All [D] my love.
[E] When I'm [Bm] lost and alone, it's you that I [E] miss.
[Bm] With a love like yours, it's [D] hard to resist.
[E] Whoa, [A] whoa.
Penny lover, girl, I'm gone [E] now.
Don't [F#m]

Penny lover, oh [E] my.
[F#m] I [A] remember the first time I saw you, baby.
Penny lover, you make me [E] cry.
I can't help looking you [F#m] in the eye.
You have a look in your eye.
Yeah, yeah, [E] yeah.
Ooh, [A] Penny baby.
[E] I just want to [F#m] reach out and touch you, baby.
I want you to try to hold you.
I want you to [A] try to say, ooh.
[E] [F#m] Whoa, don't you know [E] that.
Don't you make me cry.
I want to [A] talk about you every day.
Tell me how much you need me, [E] [F#m] need me.
Need me, [Em] need [F#m] me.
[E] Oh, Penny.
Penny [A] lover, ooh.
Oh, [D] Penny.
