Dear Theodosia (from 'Hamilton')

(G)Dear Theodosia, what to say to you?

(Em)You have my eyes.

You (C)have your mother's name.

When you (G)came into the world,

you (Bm)cried and it broke my (Em)heart.

(G)I'm dedicating ev'ry day to you.

(Em)Domestic life was (C)never quite my style.

When you (G)smile, (Bm)you knock me out,

I fall (Em)apart.

And I thought I was so (C)smart.

You will (G)come of age with our young (Bm)nation.

We'll bleed and (Em)fight for you,

we'll make it (C)right for you.

If we (G)lay a strong enough (Bm)foundation we'll pass it (Em)on to you,

we'll give the (C)world to you,

and you'll blow us all away...

(Bm7)someday, (Em)someday.

(C)Yeah, you'll blow us all away,

(Bm7)someday, (Em)someday.

(G)Oh, (Bm7)Philip, when you smile I am (Em)undone.

My (D)son.

Look at my (G)son.

(Bm)Pride is not the word I'm looking (Em)for.

There is so much (Dsus)more inside me (D)now.

(G)Oh, (Bm)Philip, you outshine the morning (Em)sun.

My (Dsus)son.

(D)When you (G)smile,

(Bm)I fall apart.

And I thought I was so (Dsus)(D)smart.

(C)My father wasn't (D)around.

(C)My father wasn't (D)around.

(C)I swear that I'll be (D)around for you.

I'll do whatever it takes.

(Cmaj7)I'll make a million (D)mistakes.

(Cmaj7)I'll make the world safe (D)and sound for you will (G)come of age with our young (Bm7)nation.

We'll bleed and (Em7)fight for you,

we'll make it (Cmaj7)right for you.

(D)If we (G)lay a strong enough (Bm7)foundation we'll pass it (Em)on to you,

we'll give the (C)world to you,

and you'll blow us all away (D)someday,
