FThCere are moments that the words don't reach
DmThere is suffering too terrible to name
A#You hold your child as tight as you can
FAnd push away the unimaginable
CThe moments when you're in so deep
DmIt feels easier to just swim down
A#The Hamiltons move uptown
FAnd learn to live with the unimaginable


CI spend hours in the garden
DmI walk alone to the store
A#And it's quiet uptown
FI never liked the quiet before
CI take the children to church on Sunday
DmA sign of the cross at the door
A#And I pray
FThat never used to happen before



If you see him in the street
CWalking by himself, talking to himself
DmHave pity


A#Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown


FHe is working through the unimaginable


His hair has gone gray
CHe passes every day
DmThey say he walks the length of the city


A#You knock me out, I fall apart

FCan you imagine?


Look at where we are
CLook at where we started
DmI know I don't deserve you, Eliza
A#But hear me out, that would be enough

FIf I could spare his life
CIfDm I could trade his life for mine
A#He'd be standing here right now

And you would smile
CAnd that would be enough


DmI dAmon't pretend to know the challenges we're facing
A#I know there's no replacing what we've lost
FAnd you need time
CBut I'm not afraid

I know who I married
DmJusA#t let me stay here by your side
FThat would be enough



If you see him in the street
CWalking by her side

Talking by her side
DmHave pity


Eliza, do you like it uptown
A#It's quiet uptown


FHe is trying to do the unimaginable

CSee them walking in the park, long after dark
DmTaking in the sights of the city


A#Look around, look around, Eliza


FThey are trying to do the unimaginable


CThere are moments that the words don't reach
DmThere is a grace too powerful to name
A#We push away what we can never understand
FWe push away the unimaginable
CThey are standing in the garden
DmAlexander by Eliza's side
A#She takes his hand


FIt's quiet uptown

CForgiveness
