[Verse 1]
Cadd9 Am Em
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
Cadd9 Am Em/B
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
Cadd9 Am
He's on the British side in Georgia
Em
He's trying to keep the colonies inline
Cadd9 Am
But he can keep all of Georgia
Theodosia, she's mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Cadd9
Love doesnât discriminate
G
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
Am Cadd9
And we keep loving anyway
F
We laugh and we cry and we break
And we make our mistakes
Am Cadd9
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
G
When so many have tried
Am Cadd9
Then I'm willing to wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 Am Em
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
Preacher, Preacher, Preacher
Cadd9
But there are things that the
Am Em/B
Homilies and hymns won't teach ya
Teach ya, Teach ya, Teach ya
Cadd9 Am
My mother was a genius, genius
Em
My father commanded respect, respect,
Cadd9 Am
respect When they died they left
no instructions
Just a legacy to protect
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Cadd9
Death doesnât discriminate
G
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
Am Cadd9
And we keep living anyway
F
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
Am Cadd9
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
G
When everyone who loves me has died
Am Cadd9
I'm willing to wait for it, wait for it
I'm willing to wait for it
[Chorus]
Am
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it,
wait for it
Cadd9 Am
I am the one thing in life I can control
Csus4
I am inimitable
Am
I am an original
Cadd9 Am
I'm not falling behind or running late
Csus4
I'm not standing still
Am
I am lying in wait
[Interlude]
Wait, wait, wait
Cadd9 Am
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb
Climb, climb, climb
Csus4
He has something to prove
Am
He has nothing to lose
Cadd9
Hamilton's pace is relentless
Am
He wastes no time
Time, time, time
Csus4
What is it like in his shoes?
[Bridge]
Cadd9 Am
Hamilton doesnât hesitate
Em
He exhibits no restraint
He takes and he takes and he takes
Cadd9 Am
And he keeps winning anyway
Em/B
He changes the game
He plays and he raises the stakes
Am Cadd9
And if there's a reason He
G
seems to thrive when so few survive,
then Goddamnit
Am
I'm willing to wait for it Wait for it
Cadd9
I'm willing to wait for it
[Chorus]
Am Cadd9
Life doesnât discriminate
G
Between the sinners and the saints
Am Cadd9
It takes and it takes and it takes
F
We rise
And we fall
Am Cadd9
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
G
When so many have died
Then I'm willin' to
[Outro]
Cadd9 Am Em
Wait for it
Cadd9
Wait for it, wait for it
Am
Wait for it
Em
Wait for it, wait for it
Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it,
wait for it
Cadd9
Wait
