[Verse 1]
CTheodosia Amwrites me a letter everyEm day
CI'm keeping the bed Amwarm while her husband is aEmway
CHe's on the British side in AmGeorgia
He's Emtrying to keep the colonies in line
CBut he can keep all of AmGeorgia
Em (Refrain)
Theodosia, she's mine
[Chorus 1]
AmLove doesn't discriminaCte between the sinners and the Gsaints, it takes and it takes and it takes
And Amwe keep loving anyway, Cwe laugh and we cry aFnd we break and we make our mistakes
And Amif there's a reason IC'm by her side when soG many have tried
Then I'm willing to Amwait for it C
I'm willing to Fwait for it
[Verse 2]
CMy grandfather was a Amfire and brimstone Empreacher
CBut there are things that the Amhomilies and hymns won't Emteach ya
CMy mother was a Amgenius
My Emfather commanded respect
CWhen they died they Amleft no instructions
Em (Refrain)
Just a legacy to protect
[Chorus 2]
AmDeath doesn't discriminCate between the sinners and theG saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
AmWe keep living anyway, Cwe rise and we fall aFnd we break and we make our mistakes
And Amif there's a reason IC'm still alive while eGveryone who loves me has died
I'm willing to Amwait for it C
I'm willing to Fwait for it
Am(Wait for it, wait for it)
[Bridge]
CI am the one thing in life I can control Am
FI am inimitable, I am an origiAmnal
CI'm not falling behind or running lAmate
F (refrain) Am
I'm not standing still, I am lying in wait
CHamilton faces an endless uphill cAmlimb
FHe has something to prove, he has nothing to Amlose
CHamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no tAmime
GWhat is it like inF his shoes?
[Chorus 3]
AmHamilton doesn't hesitate, Che exhibits no reGstraint and he takes and he takes and he takes
And Amhe keeps winning anyway, Cchanges the gaEmme he plays and he raises the stakes
And Amif there's a reason Che seems to thrive when Gso few survive, then goddamnit
I'm willing to Amwait for it C
I'm willing to Fwait for it
[Chorus 4]
AmLife doesn't discrimiCnate between the sinners and the Gsaints, it takes and it takes and it takes
AmWe keep living anyway, Cwe rise and we fall and Fwe break and we make our mistakes
And Amif there's a reason CI'm still alive while sGo many have died, then I'm willing to—
