[Chorus]
F F/A
There are moments that the words don’t reach
F/Bb
There is suffering too terrible to name
F/D
You hold your child as tight as you can
F/C
And push away the unimaginable
F C4/E
The moments when you’re in so deep
Bb9/F
It feels easier to just swim down
Dm
The Hamiltons move uptown
Csus C
And learn to live with the unimaginable
[Verse]
F C/E
I spend hours in the garden
Bbsus/F
I walk alone to the store
Dm
And it’s quiet uptown
C/E
I never liked the quiet before
F C/E
I take the children to church on Sunday
Bb9
A sign of the cross at the door
Dm
And I pray
C F
That never used to happen before
F
If you see him in the street,
C/E
walking by Himself, talking to himself,
Bb9
Have pity Philip, you would like it uptown
Dm C
It's quiet uptown He is working through the unimaginable
F C/E
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day They say he walks the length of the city
Bb9
You knock me out, I fall apart
Dm Csus C
Can you imagine?
F
Look at where we are
C/E
Look at where we started
Bbsus2/F
I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza
Dm C
But hear me out. That would be enough
F
If I could spare his life
C/E
If I could trade his life for mine
Bb9/D Dm/A
He’d be standing here right now
Csus/G C/G
And you would smile, and that would be enough
F/C
I don’t pretend to know
Dm
The challenges we’re facing
F/A Bb9/D Bbm/Db
I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost
Fsus2
And you need time
C/E
But I’m not afraid
Bbmaj9/D
I know who I married
Bb/D Dm/A
Just let me stay here by your side
Csus C
That would be enough
F
If you see him in the street,
C/E
Walking by her Side, talking by her side,
Bbmaj9
Have pity, Eliza, do you like it uptown?
Dm Csus C
It’s quiet uptown He is trying to do the unimaginable
F C/E
See them walking in the park, long after dark
Bb9
Taking in the sights of the city
Bb9 Dm
Look around, look around, Eliza
Csus C F
They are trying to do the unimaginable
[Chorus]
F Fmaj9/A
There are moments that the words don’t reach
Bbsus2
There is a grace too powerful to name
Dm
We push away what we can never understand
Csus C F
We push away the unimaginable
C/E
They are standing in the garden
Bbsus2
Alexander by Eliza’s side
Dm
She takes his hand
C
It’s quiet uptown
Fsus2 C/E
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Bb/D Dm/A Csus C
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
F C/E
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
Bb9
Talking by her side, have pity
Dm C F
They are going through the unimaginable
