[Verse]
                             Fm      
Theodosia writes me a letter everyday
Db                  Bbm                       Fm  
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
Db                          Bbm    
He's on the British side in Georgia
     Fm                                 
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
Db                     Bbm    
But he can keep all of Georgia
Bbm                 
Theodosia she's mine
Bbm                      
Love doesn't discriminate
Db                 
Between the sinners
        Db    
And the saints
             Ab7                  
It takes and it takes and it takes
    Bbm            Db    
And we keep loving anyway
                Db 
We laugh and we cry
       Db   
And we break
       Db               
And we make our mistakes
    Bbm                 Db             
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
     Db                
When so many have tried
                    Bbm        
Then I'm willing to wait for it
Db                Gb         
■  I'm willing to wait for it
Db                            Fm                
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher
Db                        Bbm                    Fm            
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya
Db                       
■  My mother was a genius
Fm                         
My father commanded respect
Db                  Bbm                 
When they died they left no instructions
Ab               Ab     
Just a legacy to protect
Bbm           Db          
Death doesn't discriminate
        Db         
Between the sinners
    Ab        
And the saints
Ab                                
It takes and it takes and it takes
    Bbm            Db    
And we keep living anyway
            Db     
We rise and we fall
    Db      
And we break
Db                      
And we make our mistakes
Bbm                     Db             
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
Db                                 
When everyone who loves me has died
    Bbm                 Db
I'm willing to wait for it
    Db                    
I'm willing to wait for it

It takes and it takes and it takes
Bbm         Db Gb  
We rise and we fall

He play and he raises the stakes
       Bbm                  Db         
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
     Db
