[REWIND INTERLUDE]
[ANGELICA]
Am
I remember that night I just might
regret that night for the rest of my days
C
I remember those soldier boys tripping over themselves
to win our praise
Dm
I remember that dreamlike candlelight
like a dream that you can't quite place
F E Am
But Alexander I'll never forget the first time I saw your face
I have never been the same
C
Intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame
Dm
And when you said hi I forgot my dang name
F E
Set my heart aflame every part aflame
This is not a game
[ANGELICA]
Am
So so so so this is what it feels like to match wits
with someone at your level What the hell is the catch
C
It's the feeling of freedom of seeing the light
It's Ben Franklin with a key and a kite
You see it right
Dm
The conversation lasted two minutes maybe three minutes
Everything we said in total agreement
F
It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance
E
A bit of a posture it's a bit of a stance
Am
He's a bit of a flirt but I'mma give it a chance
I asked about his family did you see his answer
C
His hands started fidgeting he looked askance
He's penniless he's flying by the seat of his pants
Dm
Handsome boy does he know it
Peach fuzz and he can't even grow it
F
I wanna take him far away from this place
E
Then I turn and see my sister's face and she is
[ELIZA]
Am
Helpless
[ANGELICA]
And I know she is
[ELIZA]
Dm
Helpless
[ANGELICA]
And her eyes are just
[ELIZA]
Am
Helpless
[ANGELICA]
F E
And I realize three fundamental truths at the exact same time
[ANGELICA]
Am
I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich
C
My father has no sons so I'm the one
who has to social climb for one
Dm
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
F
And Alexander is penniless
E
That doesn't mean I want him any less
[ANGELICA]
Am
He's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler sister
That elevates his status
C
I'd have to be naive to set that aside
Maybe that is why
Dm
I introduce him to Eliza
Now that's his bride
F
Nice going Angelica he was right
E
You will never be satisfied
[ANGELICA]
Am
I know my sister like I know my own mind
C
You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind
Dm
If I tell her that I love him she'd be silently resigned
F
He'd be mine
E
She would say I'm fine
She'd be lying
Am
But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes
C
as I romanticize what might have been if I hadn't
Dm
sized him up so quickly
C
At least my dear Eliza's his wife
E
At least I keep his eyes in my life
