In The Heights - Inútil chords by Soundtracks

Chords with lyrics

verse 1
C majorC
  This isn't happening
 C/AC/A
Inútil! Useless.
C majorC
 Just like my father was before me:
 C/AC/A
Inútil. Useless.
C majorC
 And every day he cut the cane
C/DC/D                 C/AC/A
  He came home late and prayed for rain
      C/GC/G
Prayed for rain
C majorC
And on the days when nothing came
C/DC/D                 C/AC/A
  My father's face was lined with shame
  C/Ab      C/GC/G
He'd sit me down beside him and he'd say:

FF         G+G
 My father was a farmer
G+G         A minorAm
His father was a farmer
          C majorC
And you will be a farmer
C majorC
But I told him
FF              G+G
"Papi, I'm sorry I'm going farther"
G+G         AbaugAbaug
"I'm getting on a plane
              Bb majorBb
"And I am gonna change the world some day!"
         C majorC
And he slapped my face


verse 2

C/DC/D
  He stood there staring at me
C/AC/A     G+G
  Useless
C majorC
Today
C/DC/D
  My daughter's home and I am
A minorAm    Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
  Useless
C majorC         C/DC/D
And as a baby she amazed
C/DC/D                 C/AC/A G+G
Me with the things she learned each day
C majorC
 She used to stay on the fire escape
C/DC/D                C/AC/A
  While all the other kids would play
  C/Ab      C/GC/G
And I would stand beside her and I'd say

FF           G+G
I'm proud to be your father
G+G           A minorAm
Cuz' you work so much harder
A minorAm          C majorC
And you are so much smarter
C majorC
Than I was at your age
FF
 And I always knew
G+G
 That she would fly away
AbaugAbaug
   That she was gonna change the
Fmaj7/Bb   A minorAm
World  some day


OUTRO
    A minorAm
I will not
    Am/C
Be the reason
    Am/F      Am/E
That my family can't succeed
    A minorAm
I will do
    Am/C
What it takes
       Am/F      Am/E
They'll have everything they need
     A minorAm
Or all my work
    Am/C
All my life
   Am/D   Am/E
Everything I've sacrificed
Am/GAm/G  Am/GAm/G
Will have been
A minorAm Am/C C/FC/F A minorAm
Useless
