(ver. 1)
Broadway
F#m

(BURR)
D7                                       F#m D7
There's nothing like summer in the city
                                                   F#m D7
Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty
                                             Faug
There's trouble in the air, you can smell it

And Alexander's by himself. I'll let him tell it

(HAMILTON)
           A
I hadn't slept in a week

I was weak, I was awake
          Aaug
You never seen a bastard orphan

More in need of a break
F#m/A
Longing for Angelica

Missing my wife
             A7
That's when Miss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said:

(MARIA)
A
I know you are a man of honor
Aaug
I'm so sorry to bother you at home
      F#m/A                        A7
But I don't know where to go, and I came here all alone?

(HAMILTON)
She said:

(MARIA)
A
My husband's doin' me wrong
   Aaug 
Beatin' me, cheatin' me, mistreatin' me...
F#m/A
Suddenly he's up and gone
A7
I don't have the means to go on

(HAMILTON)
      F#m                                                D7
So I offered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she said

(MARIA)
You're too kind, sir

(HAMILTON)
            F#m
I gave her thirty bucks that I had socked away
                    D7
She lived a block away, she said:

(MARIA)
This one's mine, sir

(HAMILTON)
        F#m
Then I said, 'well, I should head back home,'
                     D7
She turned red, she led me to her bed

Let her legs spread and said:

(MARIA)
Faug
Stay?

(HAMILTON)
Hey?

(MARIA)
Hey?

(HAMILTON)
That's when I began to pray:
    A
Lord, show me how to

Say no to this
Aaug
I don't know how to

Say no to this
   F#m/A
But my God, she looks so helpless
    A7
And her body's saying, 'hell, yes'

(MARIA)
A
Whoa...

(HAMILTON)
Nooo, show me how to

(HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE)
Say no to this

(HAMILTON)
Aaug
I don't know how to

(HAMILTON/ENSEMBLE)
Say no to this

(HAMILTON)
F#m/A
In my mind, I'm tryin' to go

(ENSEMBLE)
Go! Go! Go!

(HAMILTON)
      A7                          D
Then her mouth is on mine, and I don't say?

(ENSEMBLE)
A
No! No!

Say no to this!
Aaug
No! No!

Say no to this!
F#m/A
No! No!

Say no to this!
A7
No! No!

Say no to this!

(HAMILTON)
A
I wish I could say that was the last time
Aaug
I said that last time. It became a pastime
F#m/A
A month into this endeavor I received a letter
A7
From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said:

(JAMES)
A5*
Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health

And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth

In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck

You see, that was my wife who you decided to

(HAMILTON)
Fuuuu—

(JAMES)
Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold

So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled

And hey, you can keep seein' my whore wife

If the price is right: if not I'm telling your wife

(HAMILTON)
  F#m
I hid the letter and I raced to her place
                                   D7
Screamed 'How could you?!' in her face

She said:

(MARIA)
No, sir!

(HAMILTON)
      F#m
Half dressed, apologetic. A mess, she looked
              D7
Pathetic, she cried:

(MARIA)
Please don't go, sir!

(HAMILTON)
       F#m
So was your whole story a setup?

(MARIA)
I don't know about any letter!

(HAMILTON)
      E/F#
Stop crying Goddamnit, get up!

(MARIA)
   E
I didn't know any better

(HAMILTON)
       D
I am ruined...

(MARIA)                            / (HAMILTON)
                                
Please don't leave me with him     / I am 
  E  D
helpless                           / helpless, how could I do
                                         
Just give him what he wants        / this?
              E   D
and you can have me
                                   / I don't want you
Whatever you want,                 / I don't want you


(MARIA)                            
        Bbm
If you pay                         / I don't...
         Bb   B
You can stay
                                    
(HAMILTON)
B

B                                   
No, show me how to

Say no to this                                             / Say no to this!

There is nowhere I 

can go                                                     / Go go go
