Penelope 

Cm7                      Ab2 
I'm supposed to choose a suitor 
            Eb Bb4 
To wear the crown 
Cm7                      Ab2 
I said I would choose as soon 
                  Eb Bb4 
As I weave this shroud 
           Fm7       Bb4   Cm9 
They don't know that every night 
    Cm 
I unthread all the work I've done 
Fm7       Bb4    Cm7 
 Cause I'd rather lie 

Than allow them to think they've 

Won 
Ab             Bb 
Though I never thought that 
      Eb  Bb/D Cm 
I'd resort to this 
Bb   Ab            Bb 
Just know I'll be here 

      Cm7 
But I don't know how much longer 
    Ab2                      Eb  Bb 
I'll last Since we saw that storm 
    Cm7 
And though it was so close to our 
Ab2                         Eb 
Kingdom It was far from the norm 
  Bb 
Unless 
             Fm7     Bb4      Cm7 
Oh, could it be some kind of sign 

That my world is all about 
   Fm7 
To change? 
      Bb4     Cm7 
Is it finally time for 

The challenge I arranged? 
Ab              Bb 
Though I never thought that it 
      Eb  Bb/D Cm7 
Would come to this 
Bb   Ab           Bb 
Just know I'll be here 
            Cm 
Buying you time 

Suitors 

Cm                     Ab2 
Time is fleeting, it's running out 
Fm7                G 
Time to be the man of the house 
(Oh, buying you time) 
Cm                     Ab2 
Time is fleeting, it's running out 
Fm7                G 
Time to be the man of the house 

Penelope 

  Cm7 
Whoever can string 
   Ab2 
My husband's old bow 
    Eb 
And shoot through twelve 
     Bb4  Bb 
Axes cleanly 
    Cm7 
Will be the new king 
    Bb/D 
Sit down at the throne 
    Eb                  Bb 
And rule with me as his queen 

Fm7      Bb    Cm9 
 Let the arrow fly 

Once you know that your aim is true 
Fm7        Bb4    Cm7 
 Cause I'd rather die 

That grow old without the best 
Of you 
Cm7            Ab2 
Though I never thought that these 
      Eb 
Would be the lengths we'd 
Bb4 
Go for love 
Cm7                Ab2        Eb  Bb 
I would not have it any other way 
    Ab             Bb 
And though I never thought that 
         Eb  Bb/D Cm7 
It would end like this 
Bb   Ab             Bb 
Just know, I'll be here 

Eb Bb/Eb Eb2 Eb
