EI have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight
AWe were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night
ELaughing at my sister as she’s dazzling the room
Then yAou walked in and my heart went “Boom!”
ETrying to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom
AEverybody’s dancing and the band’s top volume
EGrind to the rhythm as we wine and dine
Grab my sAister and whisper “Yo, this one’s mine.”
C#m My sister made her way across the room to yAou
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonnaC#m do?”
She grabbed you by the arm, I’m thinking “I’m thrBough”
Then you look back at me and suddenly I’m

(Hamilton)
ElEiza, I don’t have a dollar to my name
An aAcre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
EAll I have’s my honor, a tolerance for pain
A cAouple of college credits and my top-notch brain
EInsane, your family brings out a different side of me
APeggy confides in me, Angelica tried to take a bite of me
ENo stress, my love for you is never in doubt
We’ll get a litAtle place in Harlem and we’ll figure it out
I’ve been C#mlivin’ without a family since I was a child
My father lAeft, my mother died, I grew up buckwild

And long as I’m alive, BEliza, swear to God
You’ll never feel so…

[Chorus]
HEelpless, lAook into your eyes and the sky’s the limit
I’m hEelpless, dAown for the count and I’m drowning in ‘em
