Helpless (from 'Hamilton')

Hey hey hey hey.

(F)Ooh, I do, I do, I do,

I (Bbsus2)dooo!

Hey! (F)Ooh, I do, I do,

I do, (Bbsus2)I dooo!

Boy, you got me (F)helpless!

(Bbsus2)Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm (F)helpless!

(Bbsus2)Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em.

(F)I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight.

(Bbsus2)We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night,

(F)laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room,

then (Bbsus2)you walked in and my heart went "boom"!

(F)Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom,

(Bbsus2)ev'rybody's dancin' and the band's top volume,

(F)Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine.

Grab my (Bbsus2)sister, and whisper, "Yo,

this one's mine."

(Dm7)My sister made her way across the room to (F)you and I get nervous,

thinking, "What's she gonna (Bbsus2)do?"

She grabs you by the arm,

Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm (F)helpless!

Oh, look at those eyes.

Oh! Yeah, I'm helpless!

(Bbsus2)Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em.

(F)Helpless! I am so into you.

(Bbsus2)Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm (F)helpless!

I know I'm (Bbsus2)down for the count,

and I'm drownin' in 'em.

(F)One week later, I'm writin' a letter nightly.

(Bbsus2)Now my life gets better, ev'ry letter that you write me.

(F)Laughin' at my sister, 'cause she wants to form a harem.

I'm just sayin', if you really loved me,

you would share him.

Ha! (F)Two weeks later, in the living room,

stressin', my (Bbsus2)father's stonefaced while you're asking for his blessin'.

I'm (F)dying inside, as you wine and dine and I'm (Bbsus2)tryin' not to cry,

'cause there's nothing that your mind can't (Dm7)do.

My father makes his way across the room to (F)you.

I panic for a second, thinking,
