Say No To This from Hamilton (by Lin-Manuel Miranda) F#m [BURR]
D7There’s nothing like summer in the city F#m D7 Someone under stress meets someone looking pretty F#m D7 There’s trouble in the air, you can smell it Faug
And Alexander’s by himself. I’ll let him tell it [HAMILTON]
I hadn’t slAept in a week I was weak, I was awake You never Aaugseen a bastard orphan
More in need of a break
F#m/ALonging for Angelica Missing my wife That’s when MA7iss Maria Reynolds walked into my life, she said:
[MARIA]
AI know you are a man of honor AaugI’m so sorry to bother you at home But I F#m/Adon’t know where to go, and IA7 came here all alone…
[HAMILTON] She said: [MARIA]
AMy husband’s doin’ me wrong BeaAaugtin’ me, cheatin’ me, mistreatin’ me... F#m/ASuddenly he’s up and gone A7I don’t have the means to go on
[HAMILTON]
So I oF#mffered her a loan, I offered to walk her home, she D7said
[MARIA] You’re too kind, sir [HAMILTON]
I gave her tF#mhirty bucks that I had socked away She lived a block awD7ay, she said:
[MARIA] This one’s mine, sir [HAMILTON]
Then I sF#maid, “well, I should head back home,” She turned red, she lD7ed me to her bed
Let her legs spread and said: [MARIA]
FaugStay?
[HAMILTON] Hey… [MARIA] Hey… [HAMILTON] That’s when I began to pray:
LordA, show me how to Say no to this AaugI don’t know how to

ButF#m/A my God, she looks so helpless And A7her body’s saying, “hell, yes”
[MARIA]
AWhoa...

AI wish I could say that was the last time AaugI said that last time. It became a pastime F#m/AA month into this endeavor I received a letter A7From a Mr. James Reynolds, even better, it said:
[JAMES] A5* Dear Sir, I hope this letter finds you in good health And in a prosperous enough position to put wealth In the pockets of people like me: down on their luck You see, that was my wife who you decided to [HAMILTON] Fuuuu— [JAMES] Uh-oh! You made the wrong sucker a cuckold So time to pay the piper for the pants you unbuckled And hey, you can keep seein’ my whore wife If the price is right: if not I’m telling your wife [HAMILTON]
I F#mhid the letter and I raced to her place Screamed “How could you?!” in her fD7ace
She said: [MARIA] No, sir! [HAMILTON]
Half dF#mressed, apologetic. A mess, she looked Pathetic, she D7cried:
[MARIA] Please don’t go, sir! [HAMILTON]
