[Verse 1]
Bm
I try not to say I love you
                                    E
just because it's something so many say
Bm
and I think we've got the chance
                                               E
for something that you just can't get the easy way.
Bm
Well I'm not the perfect person
                                       E
I just go through what I have to every day.
Bm
And the pavement's not so stable here
                                     E
that you might never think to walk away.

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                               A        E
'Cause Penny you're just a girl that I know and I'm just me
G
Don't ever find words for that look in your eyes
A             E               F#m  C#m     E
And I like to believe I'm the only one who sees
A                    E                  A                E
It's all the faith I keep sometimes and I can't watch it leave

[Chorus]
A                   F#m    C#m   E      Bm
I don't mind trying harder everyday, oh no
A                           F#m    C#m    E
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way

[Verse 2]
Bm
Ah, when we're close
                                    E
I get fooled into thinking it's all planned
Bm
That if we aren't sure
                                       E
That someone's going to take us by the hand
Bm
But getting lost is easy
                                               E
And you know they'll leave you stranded in the rain
Bm
Wishing you'd made that one right move
                                     E
Oh, Penny, can you keep me from that pain?

[Pre-Chorus]
G
Cause I'm sitting on fences
                     A        E
Lost in my old why's and wherefore's
G
And I trip over promises made too soon
A       E        F#m       C#m      E
Worried I'll end up kicked out your door
A                          E
But you know I'll be there knocking
A                  E
And asking you for more

[Chorus]
A                   F#m        C#m         E           Bm
I don't mind trying harder     every       day,     oh no
A                          F#m    C#m     E
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this way
N.C.
oh no no no

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                         A          E
We pick a direction and take it as far as we can     go
G
And we wonder sometimes if we've done the right thing
A           E          F#m            C#m       E
Kills me    just to    think we'll    never     know
A                   E           A              E
Sometimes I want to drop it but I can't let it go

[Chorus]
A                   F#m        C#m          E            Bm
I don't mind trying harder     every        day,      oh no
A                          F#m    C#m          E
'Cause Penny, things won't always be this      way
A                   F#m    C#m             E          Bm
I don't mind trying harder every           day,    oh no no no
A                   F#m    C#m                     E
