Wait For It (from 'Hamilton')

Theodosia (Bm)writes me a letter (F#m)ev'ryday.

(D)I'm keeping her bed (Bm)warm while her husband is (F#m)away.

(D)He's on the British side in (Bm)Georgia.

He's (F#m)tryin' to keep the colonies in line.

(D)He can keep all of (Bm)Georgia.

Theodosia, she's mine.

Love doesn't discriminate (D)between the sinners and the (Asus)saints,

it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep loving anyway.

(D)We laugh and we (G)cry and we break and we make our mistakes.

And if there's a reason I'm by her side when so many have tried then I'm willing to (Bm)wait for it.

(D)I'm willing to (G)wait for it.

(Wait for it, wait for it,

wait for it.)

(D)My grandfather was a (Bm)fire and brimstone (F#m)preacher.

(Preacher, preacher, preacher.)

(D)But there are things that the (Bm)homilies and hymns won't (F#m)teach ya.

(Teach ya, teach ya,

teach ya.)

(D)My mother was a (Bm)genius,

my (F#m)father commanded respect.

(Respect, (D)respect.)

When they died they (Bm)left no instructions.

Just a legacy to protect.

Death doesn't discriminate (D)between the sinners and the (Asus)saints,

it takes, and it takes, and it takes,

and we keep living anyway.

(D)We rise and we (G)fall and we break and we make our mistakes.

And if there's a reason I'm still alive when ev'ryone who loves me has died,

I'm willing to (Bm)wait for it.

(D)I'm willing to wait for it.

Life doesn't discriminate (D)between the sinners and the (Asus)saints,

it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep loving anyway.

(D)We rise and we (G)fall and we break and we make our mistakes.

And if there's a reason I'm still alive when so many have died,

(F#m)then I'm willing to...

(F#m)Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Wait (D)for it...

Wait (Bm)for it...

Wait for it...
