penelope:
          D      E
Don't you miss me?

odysseus:
              A
More than you know

penelope:
     Gbm                   D
Then jump in the water and kiss me

odysseus:
  E                           A
penelope, I've told you this before
Gbm           nc           D
You know I'm afraid of the water

penelope:
E                                    A
I'll make sure that you are safe and sound
Gbm                       D                 E                       A
Come play with me and our daughter and let's watch our love leave the ground

odysseus:
Gbm
   Oh, I would
    Bm               E
But I'd be suffering trying to float the whole time

penelope:
A               Gbm   E
I would take the suffering from you

odysseus:
Bm                E
Oh, as good as it sounds, right here I'm just fine

penelope:
A               Gbm   E
I could take the suffering from you

odysseus:
Bm                E
You know that I prefer my feet on the ground

penelope:
A              Gbm   E
I will take the suffering from you

odysseus:
Bm                             E
Fine, but only if you answer a question or two

penelope:
nc
Of course!

odysseus:
         D                                   E
Okay, so let's say I was on the run or hiding...
                          Gbm
From I don't know Poseidon...
                                           A
And let's say he blocked the way home with giant waves and giant storms

penelope:

Oh no!

odysseus:
D                    E
How am I to evade him?
                Gbm
How am I to get home?
                     A
Which route should I take?

Where am I supposed to go?

penelope:
D                 E
He will chase you high and low
   Gbm               A
So find a place he'd never go
    D                  E
The one way you'll get home
                      Gbm               A
Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh
                 nc             Gbm
It's through the lair of Scylla

odysseus:

No...

penelope:
             D        E
This is your only way home
            A
The lair of Scylla

odysseus:
Gbm
But Scylla has a cost

penelope:
          A                 E
Well, you asked and now you know
    nc
Now jump in the water!

odysseus:
          D
penelope, why?
                 E
You know I'm too shy and terrified

penelope:
A      Dbm      Gbm   E
I would take the suffering from you

odysseus:
D                    E
Oh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry?

penelope:
A      Dbm      Gbm   E
I could take the suffering from you

odysseus:
D                       E
You should come onto the ship, We'll jump at the same time

penelope:
A     Dbm      Gbm   E       D
I will take the suffering from you

odysseus:
                 E
Ah, the things I do for you
