(Standard tuning, no capo)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Intro]
Am F C G (x2)
[Verse]
Am F C G
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
Am F C G
I'm 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)
