Key: G
Introduction:
Cm7 Eb
Alright, alright. That's what I'm talkin' about!
Cm7/F
Now everyone give it up for the maid of honor
Ab9 G7
Angelica Schuyler!
Cm7
A toast to the groom (to the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
Eb
To the bride (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
Cm7/F
From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
Ab9 G7
Who is always by your side (By your side)
Cm7
To your union (To the union! To the revolution!)
Eb
And the hope that you provide (provide, provide)
Cm7/F
May you always (always)
Ab9 G7
Be satisfied (rewind)
Cm7
I remember that night I just might
regret that night for the rest of my days
Eb
I remember those soldier boys tripping over themselves
to win our praise
Cm7/F
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
like a dream that you can't quite place
Ab9 G7 Cm7
But Alexander I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
Eb
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
Cm7/F
And when you said "hi" I forgot my dang name
Ab9 G7
Set my heart aflame, every part aflame
This is not a game
Cm7
You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied
Eb
I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself
Cm7/F
You're like me. I'm never satisfied
Ab9
Is that right?
G7
I have never been satisfied
Cm7
My name is Angelica Schuyler
Eb
Alexander Hamilton
Where's your family from?
Cm7/F
Unimportant, there's a million things I haven't done
Ab7 G7
Just you wait, just you wait
Cm7
So so so, so this is what it feels like to match wits
with someone at your level. What the hell is the catch?
Eb
It's the feeling of freedom, of seeing the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
Cm7/F
The conversation lasted two minutes, maybe three minutes
Everything we said in total agreement
Ab9
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
G7
A bit of a posture, it's a bit of a stance
Cm7
He's a bit of a flirt but I'mma give it a chance
I asked about his family, did you see his answer?
Eb
His hands started fidgeting, he looked askance?
He's penniless he's flying by the seat of his pants
Cm7/F
Handsome, boy does he know it
Peach fuzz, and he can't even grow it
Ab9
I wanna take him far away from this place
G7
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is...
Cm7
Helpless
And I know she is
Cm7
Helpless
And her eyes are just
Cm7/F
Helpless
Ab9 G7
And I realize three fundamental truths at the exact same time
Cm7
Where are you taking me?
I'm about to change your life.
Cm7
Number one!
Cm7
I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich
Eb
My father has no sons so I'm the one
who has to social climb for one
Cm7/F
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
Ab9
And Alexander is penniless
G7
That doesn't mean I want him any less
Cm7
Elizabeth Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Schuyler?
Cm7
Number two!
Cm7
He's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status
Eb
I'd have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why
Cm7/F
I introduce him to Eliza
Now that's his bride
Ab9
Nice going, Angelica, he was right
G7
You will never be satisfied
Cm7
Thank you for all your service
If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it
Cm7
Number three!
Cm7
I know my sister like I know my own mind
Eb
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
Cm7/F
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned
Ab9
He'd be mine
G7
She would say "I'm fine"
She'd be lying
Cm7
But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes
Eb
as I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't
Cm7/F
sized him up so quickly
Eb
At least my dear Eliza's his wife
G7
At least I keep his eyes in my life
Cm7
To the groom! (to the groom, to the groom, to the groom)
Eb
To the bride! (To the bride, to the bride, to the bride)
Cm7/F
From your sister (Angelica, Angelica, Angelica)
Ab9 G7
Who is always by your side (By your side)
Cm7
To your union (To the union! To the revolution!)
Eb7
And the hope that you provide (provide, provide)
Cm7/F
May you always (always)
Ab9 G7
Be satisfied (satisfied, satisfied, satisfied)
Cm7
And I know
Eb
she'll be happy as his bride
Cm7/F
And I know
Ab9
He will never be satisfied
G7 Cm7
I will never be satisfied
