That Would Be Enough from Hamilton (by Lin-Manuel Miranda)
(ELIZA)
D Bm
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now
F#m7 G
Look around, look around…
(HAMILTON)
D
How long have you known?
(ELIZA)
A month or so
(HAMILTON)
Bm
Eliza, you should have told me
(ELIZA)
I wrote to the general a month ago
(HAMILTON)
F#m
No
(ELIZA)
I begged him to send you home
(HAMILTON)
G
You should have told me
(ELIZA)
I’m not sorry
(ELIZA)
Bm
I knew you’d fight
/ (HAMILTON)
Until the war was won / War's not done
D/A
But you deserve a chance to meet your son
G A
Look around, look around at how lucky we are
To be alive right now.
(HAMILTON)
Em
Will you relish being a poor man’s wife
F#m
Unable to provide for your life?
(ELIZA)
G
I relish being your wife
Look around, look around…
D/A
Look at where you are
Bm7
Look at where you started
D/F# D/E D
The fact that you’re alive is a miracle
G Gadd2
Just stay alive, that would be enough
D/A
And if this child
Bm7 D/F#
Shares a fraction of your smile
D/E D G Gadd2
Or a fragment of your mind, look out world
That would be enough
D/A
I don’t pretend to know
Bm7 D/F#
The challenges you’re facing
Cmaj7 Em/D Em D/A
The worlds you keep erasing and creating in your mind
But I’m not afraid
Bm7
I know who I married
D/F# D/E D G
So long as you come home at the end of the day
Gadd2
That would be enough
D/A
We don’t need a legacy
Bm7
We don’t need money
D/F# D/E D G
If I could grant you peace of mind
Bm
If you could let me inside your heart…
Em
Oh, let me be a part of the narrative
Bm
In the story they will write someday
Em
Let this moment be the first chapter:
Bm7
Where you decide to stay
D/G D
And I could be enough
G
And we could be enough
D/F# D/E G
That would be enough
D
