Hamilton: Helpless Chords

[F] _ Ooh, I [Bb] do, I do, I do, I do [Gm] Hey!
[F] _
Ooh, [Fm] I do, I do, I do, [Bb] I do
[F] Boy, I got me helpless
_ [Am] [Bb] Lookin' through your eyes and the [F] sky's the limit I'm helpless
_ [Am] Down [Bb] for the count and I'm [Fm] drownin' in them
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 dazzled in the room
Then you walked in and my heart went boom
Time to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
[Bb] Everybody's dancin' in the bandstop [F] volume
Rhyme to the rhythm as we whine and dine
Grab my sister and whisper, yo, this [Dm] one's mine
Ooh, my sister [F] made her way across the room to you
And I got nervous [Bb] thinkin' what you gonna do
[F] She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' I'm through
You look back at me and suddenly I'm helpless
[Bb] Lookin' through your eyes and the sky's [F] the limit I'm helpless
Down _ [Bb] for the count and [F] I'm drownin' in them I'm helpless
Lookin' [Bb] through your eyes and the sky's the [F] limit I'm helpless
I [Bb] know I'm down for the [F] count and I'm drownin' in them
Where are you taking me?
I'm about [C] to change your life
By all means, lead the way
Skyler, it's a pleasure to meet you Skyler My sister
Thank you for all your service
It takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I'll leave you [F] to it
[G] _ [Fm]
One week later, I'm writing a letter nightly
Now my life gets better every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister, she wants to form a harem
I'm just sayin' if you really loved me you would share a Ha!
Two weeks later, in the living room sissin'
My father's lone faced while you're askin' for his blessing
I'm dyin' in spite as you whine and dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry
Cause there's nothin' that your [F] mind can't do
My father makes his way closer to you
I panic for a second, [Bb] thinkin' we're through
But then he [F] shakes your hand and says, be true
[C] And you turn back to me, [F] scurrlin'
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ I'm drownin' in them
I'm _ _ _ [Bb] down for the count and I'm drownin' [F] in them I'm helpless
That boy [Bb] is lost
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] Down for the count and [F] I'm drownin' in them
Eliza, I don't have a dollar to my name
An acre of land, a troop to command
A dollar for fame, all I have is my honor
A tolerance for [Bb] pain, a couple of college credits
And my top [Fm] notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different 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 [Bb] Harlem and we'll figure it out
[Dm] I've been livin' without a [F] family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buck wild
[Bb] But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
[Fm] As long as I'm alive, [D] Eliza, swear to God you'll never [F] feel so
I do, _ Eliza, I do, Eliza
[C] I never [Dm] felt so out of place
_ [Bb] Down for the count and I'm drownin' in them
[F] My life is on fire, can't see the lies in [Bb] it
I look into your eyes and the [Dm] sky's the _ _ limit
[Bb] And I'm drownin' [F] in them
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] In New York you can be a new [F] man
In New York you can be a new [Bb] man
In New York you [Ab] can be a new [F] man _ _
