I'm willing to wait for it

Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb

Hamilton doesn't hesitate, he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes
    Bbm                    Gb            Db
And he keeps winning anyway, changes the game he plays and he raises the stakes
    Bbm                 Gb                      Db                   Ab

We keep living anyway, we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes
    Bbm                 Gb                    Db                Ab
And if there's a reason I'm still alive while so many have died, then I'm willing to—
