[Intro]

Am F C G (x2)


[Verse]

Am        F                        C      G
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
Am                    F                          C      G    
She's keeping her bed warm while her husband is away
Am                          F
He's on the British side in Georgia
     C                          G
He's tryna keep the colonies in line
Am                      F
Well he can keep all of Georgia
    C                   G (strum once)
Theodosia, she's mine.


[Chorus]
 
Am                       F                            C                       G
Love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
    Am                    F                C                       G
And we keep loving anyway, we laugh and we cry and we break and we make our mistakes
    Am                  F                    C                    G
And if there's a reason I'm by her side when so many have tried
                    Am            F
Then I'm willing to wait for it
               C (strum once)
I'm willing to wait for it.


[Verse]

Am                   F                  C          G
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
Am                            F                        C          G
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya
Am              F
My mother was a genius
   C                  G
My father commanded respect
Am                  F                    
When they died they left no instructions
C                   G
Just a legacy to protect.


[Chorus]

Am                        F                            C                       G
Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
Am                    F               C                        G
We keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
    Am                  F                    C                         G
And if there's a reason I'm still alive when everyone who loves me has died
                    Am            F
Then I'm willing to wait for it
               C (strum once)
I'm willing to wait for it.


[Bridge]

Am           F
Wait for it, wait for it

C                     G              Am      F
I am the one thing in life I can control
C                G              Am    F
I am inimitable, I am an original
C                 G               Am     F
I'm not falling behind or running late
C                G                    Am      F
I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait

C                 G              Am      F
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
C                          G                   Am    F
He has something to prove, he has nothing to lose
C                    G                      Am       F
Hamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no time
C                      G
What is it like in his shoes?

Am                        F                   C
Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint
                G
He takes and he takes and he takes
    Am                      F
And he keeps winning anyway,
               C
He changes the game,
                G
He plays and he raises the stakes
    Am                  F                       C
And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive,
     G                         Am 
Then God dammit I'm willing to wait for it.
F              C (strum once)
I'm willing to wait for it...


[Chorus]

Am                       F                            C                       G
Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
    Am                    F               C                        G
And we keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
    Am                  F                    C                  
And if there's a reason I'm still alive when so many have died
G                   
Then I'm willing to 


[Outro]

Am  F  C      G
         Wait for it...
Am       F          C   G
    Wait for it...
Am (strum once)
