ere are moments that the words don't reachDm
There is suffering too terrible to nameA#
You hold your child as tight as you canF
And push away the unimaginableC
The moments when you're in so deepDm
It feels easier to just swim downA#
The Hamiltons move uptownF
And learn to live with the unimaginableC
I spend hours in the gardenDm
I walk alone to the storeA#
And it's quiet uptownF
I never liked the quiet beforeC
I take the children to church on SundayDm
A sign of the cross at the doorA#
And I prayF
That never used to happen beforeIf you see him in the street
C
Walking by himself, talking to himselfDm
Have pityA#
Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptownF
He is working through the unimaginableHis hair has gone gray
C
He passes every dayDm
They say he walks the length of the cityA#
You knock me out, I fall apartF
Can you imagine?Look at where we are
C
Look at where we startedDm
I know I don't deserve you, ElizaA#
But hear me out, that would be enoughF
If I could spare his lifeC
IfDm
I could trade his life for mineA#
He'd be standing here right nowAnd you would smile
C
And that would be enoughDm
I dAm
on't pretend to know the challenges we're facingA#
I know there's no replacing what we've lostF
And you need timeC
But I'm not afraidI know who I married
Dm

t let me stay here by your sideF
That would be enoughIf you see him in the street
C
Walking by her sideTalking by her side
Dm
Have pityEliza, do you like it uptown
A#
It's quiet uptownF
He is trying to do the unimaginableC
See them walking in the park, long after darkDm
Taking in the sights of the cityA#
Look around, look around, ElizaF
They are trying to do the unimaginableC
There are moments that the words don't reachDm
There is a grace too powerful to nameA#
We push away what we can never understandF
We push away the unimaginableC
They are standing in the gardenDm
Alexander by Eliza's sideA#
She takes his handF
It's quiet uptownC
