This may not be entirely accurate to the piano on the soundtrack, but it's certainly playable!
[Intro]
C Am Em (x2)
[Verse]
C Am Em Theodosia writes me a letter every day C Am Em I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away C Am He's on the British side in Georgia Em He's trying to keep the colonies in line C Am But he can keep all of Georgia Em Theodosia, she's mine
[Chorus]
C F 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 G I'm willing to wait for it
[Verse]
C Am Em My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher C Am Em But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya C Am My mother was a genius Em My father commanded respect C Am When they died they left no instructions Em Just a legacy to protect
[Chorus]
C F 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 while everyone who loves me has died Am F I'm willing to wait for it G 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 Em What is it like in his shoes? Am F C Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes Am F C And he keeps winning anyway, changes the game he plays and he raises the stakes Am F C G And if there's a reason he seems to thrive when so few survive, then goddamnit Am F I'm willing to wait for it C I'm willing to wait for it 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 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 while so many have died, then I'm willing to— Am F C G Wait for it Am F C G Wait for it
