[Verse 1]
C Am Em
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
C Am Em
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
C Am
He's on the British side in Georgia
Em
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
C Am
But he can keep all of Georgia
Em (Refrain)
Theodosia, she's mine
[Chorus 1]
Am C G
Love doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
Am C F
And we keep loving anyway, we laugh and we cry and we break and we make our mistakes
Am C G
And if there's a reason I'm by her side when so many have tried
Am C
Then I'm willing to wait for it
F
I'm willing to wait for it
[Verse 2]
C Am Em
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
C Am Em
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya
C Am
My mother was a genius
Em
My father commanded respect
C Am
When they died they left no instructions
Em (Refrain)
Just a legacy to protect
[Chorus 2]
Am C G
Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
Am C F
We keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
Am C G
And if there's a reason I'm still alive while everyone who loves me has died
Am C
I'm willing to wait for it
F
I'm willing to wait for it
Am
(Wait for it, wait for it)
[Bridge]
C Am
I am the one thing in life I can control
F Am
I am inimitable, I am an original
C Am
I'm not falling behind or running late
F (refrain) Am
I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait
C Am
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
F Am
He has something to prove, he has nothing to lose
C Am
Hamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no time
G F
What is it like in his shoes?
[Chorus 3]
Am C G
Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes
Am C Em
And he keeps winning anyway, changes the game he plays and he raises the stakes
Am C G
And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive, then goddamnit
Am C
I'm willing to wait for it
F
I'm willing to wait for it
[Chorus 4]
Am C G
Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
Am C F
We keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
Am C G
And if there's a reason I'm still alive while so many have died, then I'm willing to—
[Outro]
C Am Em
Wait for it
C Am Em
Wait for it
