[Verse 1]
C            Am                      Bb F
  Theodosia writes me a letter every day
C                     Am                        Bb    F
  I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
C                             Am             Bb                             F
  He's on the British side in Georgia, he's trying to keep the colonies in line
C                        Am            Bb
  But he can keep all of Georgia, Theodosia, she's mine

[Chorus]
Am                        C                              G
Love doesn't discriminate  between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
    Am                   C                 F                       Ab           Bb
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
                    F                           C
Then I'm willing to wait for it, I'm willing to wait for it

[Verse 2]
C                      Am                 Bb          F
  My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
C                               Am                       Bb      F
  But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya
C                  Am         Bb                  F
  My mother was a genius, my father commanded respect
C                     Am                   Bb
  When they died they left no instructions,  just a legacy to protect

[Chorus]
Am                        C                              G
Love doesn't discriminate  between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes
    Am                   C                 F                       Ab           Bb
And 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 when everyone who loves me has died
                    Ab                          Bb
Then I'm willing to wait for it, I'm willing to wait for it

[Refrain]

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

[Refrain 2]
F                                Am          C
Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb (wait for it, wait for it wait)
Eb                   F                       Am         G

What is it like in his shoes?

[Verse 3]
C                        Am                   Bb
Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes
    C                     Am             Bb
And he keeps winning anyway, changes the game he plays and he raises the stakes
    Am                  C                       Bm
And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive, then goddamnit
               Am          G                 N.C.
I'm willing to wait for it   I'm willing to wait for it

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

[Outro]
C Am Bb      F
       Wait for it
C Am               Bb      F
       Wait for it
