Helpless (from 'Hamilton') piano leadsheet with chords

Hey hey hey hey.

Ooh, I do, I do, I do,

I dooo!

Hey! Ooh, I do, I do,

I do, I dooo!

Boy, you got me helpless!

Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

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

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

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

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

then you walked in and my heart went "boom"!

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

ev'rybody's dancin' and the band's top volume,

Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine.

Grab my sister, and whisper, "Yo,

this one's mine."

My sister made her way across the room to you and I get nervous,

thinking, "What's she gonna do?"

She grabs you by the arm,

I'm thinkin', "I'm through."

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

Oh, look at those eyes.

Oh! Yeah, I'm helpless!

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

Helpless! I am so into you.

Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

I know I'm down for the count,

and I'm drownin' in 'em.

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

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

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! Two weeks later, in the living room,

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

I'm dying inside, as you wine and dine and I'm tryin' not to cry,

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

My father makes his way across the room to you.

I panic for a second, thinking,

"We're through."

But then he shakes your hand and says,

"Be true."

And you turn back to me,

smiling, and I...

Helpless! Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

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

Helpless! Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

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

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

Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name,

an acre of land, a troop to command,

a dollop of fame.

All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain,

a couple of college credits and my topnotch brain.

Insane, your family brings out a diff'rent side of me,

Peggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me,

no stress, my love for you is never in doubt.

We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out.

I've been livin' without a family since I was a child.

My father left, my mother died,

I grew up buckwild.

But I'll never forget my mother's face,

that was real, and long as I'm alive,

Eliza, swear to God, you'll never feel so...

helpless! I do, I do, I do,

I dooo!

Helpless! Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em.

My life is gon' be fine 'cause Eliza's in it.

I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

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

In New York, you can be a new man,

in New York, you can be a new man,

in New York, you can be a new man.

Helpless.
