Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Any  dolt with half a brain
 Can see that humankind 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
Listen  close to everybody’s  heart
 And hear  that breaking sound
Hopes  and dreams are shattering  apart
 And crashing  to the ground
 I cannot  believe my eyes
 How the world’s  filled with filth  and lies
 But it’s plain  to see
 Evil inside  of me  is on the rise
 PENNY:
Look  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 believe
There’s  good in everybody’s  heart
Keep  it safe and  sound
With  hope, you  can do your part
 To turn  a life around
I  cannot believe my eyes
 Is the world  finally growing wise
 ‘Cause it seems  to me
 Some  kind of harmony
Is  on the rise
 Then they overlap with the "Penny Verse" chords.
 but the chords are the same, so i don't need to put them.
 here is the lyrics however:
 HORRIBLE:
 Anyone with half a brain
 Could spend their whole life howling in pain
 ‘Cause the dark is everywhere
 And Penny doesn’t seem to care
 That soon the dark in me is all that will remain
 Listen close to everybody’s heart
 And hear that breaking sound
 Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
 And crashing to the ground
 I cannot believe my eyes
 How the world’s filled with filth and lies
 But it’s plain to see
 Evil inside of me is on the rise
 PENNY:
 Take it slow
 He looks at me and seems to know
 The things that I’m afraid to show
 And suddenly I feel this glow
 And I believe
 There’s good in everybody’s heart
 Keep it safe and sound
 With hope, you can do your part
 To turn a life around
 I cannot believe my eyes
 How the world’s finally growing wise
 And it’s plain to see
 Rapture inside of me is on the rise
