Helpless Chords by Phillipa Soo, Original Broadway Cast Of Hamilton

[F] Ooh, I do, I do, I [Bb] do, I do [Gm] Hey! _
[Fm] Ooh, I do, I do, I do, [Bb] I do
[F] Boy, you're gettin' hopeless
_ [Am] [Bb] Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit [F] I'm hopeless
_ [Am] [Bb] Down for the count and I'm drowning in them
[Fm] I had never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
Laughin' at mysteries, she dazzled in the moon
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 band's top [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 made a [F] way for some to you
And I got nervous thinkin' what [Bb] you're gonna [F] do
She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin' I'm through
You look back at me and suddenly I'm helpless
Look into [Bb] your eyes and the sky's the limit [F] I'm helpless
Down _ [Bb] for the count and I'm [F] drowning in them I'm hopeless
[Bb] Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit [F] I'm helpless
I know [Bb] I'm down for the count [F] and I'm drowning in them
[C] Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life
By all means, lead the way
[F] Skylar, it's a pleasure to meet you Skylar [C] My sister
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
I'll [Am] leave you to it
[Gm] _
[Fm] One week later, I'm writing a letter nightly
Now my life gets better every letter that you write me
Laughing at my sister, she wants to form a harem
I'm just saying, if you really loved me, you would share a home
Two weeks later, in the living room, sistin'
My father's stone-faced while you're asking for his blessing
I'm dying inside as you whine and dine
And I'm trying not to cry
Cause there's nothing that your mind can't do
My father makes [F] his way over the room to you
I panic for a second, thinking [Bb] we're through
But then he shakes [F] your hand and says, be true
And [C] you turn back to me, [F] screaming
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
I'm helpless
I know I'm _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ down for the count and I'm drowning in [F] them I'm helpless
This morning, I had to pour you [Bb] some _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] I'm helpless
Down for the count and I'm [F] drowning 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-notch brain
[F] 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 Harlem and we'll [Bb] figure it out
[Dm] I've been living 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 dare you, I dare you Eliza
I dare you, I dare you
[C] I never [Dm] felt so alone
[Bb] I'm helpless
Yeah, I'm down for the count [F] and I'm drowning in them
My life is broken, fine, cuz Eliza's in it
I [Bb] look into your eyes and the [Dm] sky's the _ _ limit [Bb] I'm helpless
For the count and I'm drowning [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 [Eb] can be a new
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
