Inútil from In The Heights (by Lin-Manuel Miranda)
[VERSE 1]
C
This isn't happening
C/A
Inútil! Useless.
C
Just like my father was before me:
C/A
Inútil. Useless.
C
And every day he cut the cane
C/D C/A
He came home late and prayed for rain
C/G
Prayed for rain
C
And on the days when nothing came
C/D C/A
My father's face was lined with shame
C/Ab C/G
He'd sit me down beside him and he'd say:
[CHORUS]
F G
My father was a farmer
G Am
His father was a farmer
C
And you will be a farmer
C
But I told him
F G
"Papi, I'm sorry I'm going farther"
G Abaug
"I'm getting on a plane
Bb
"And I am gonna change the world some day!"
C
And he slapped my face
[VERSE 2]
C/D
He stood there staring at me
C/A G
Useless
C
Today
C/D
My daughter's home and I am
Am Gsus4 G
Useless
C C/D
And as a baby she amazed
C/D C/A G
Me with the things she learned each day
C
She used to stay on the fire escape
C/D C/A
While all the other kids would play
C/Ab C/G
And I would stand beside her and I'd say
[CHORUS]
F G
I'm proud to be your father
G Am
Cuz' you work so much harder
Am C
And you are so much smarter
C
Than I was at your age
F
And I always knew
G
That she would fly away
Abaug
That she was gonna change the
Fmaj7/Bb Am
World some day
[OUTRO]
Am
I will not
Am/C
Be the reason
Am/F Am/E
That my family can't succeed
Am
I will do
Am/C
What it takes
Am/F Am/E
They'll have everything they need
Am
Or all my work
Am/C
All my life
Am/D Am/E
Everything I've sacrificed
Am/G Am/G
Will have been
Am Am/C C/F Am
Useless
