[Intro]
---------------------
F

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F                                       Am
 There are moments that the words don't reach
                                   Bbsus2
There is suffering too terrible to name  
                                    Dm
You hold your child as tight as you can
    C                  F
And push away the unimaginable
                              C
The moments when you're in so deep
                             Bbsus2
It feels easier to just swim down  
                     Dm
The Hamiltons move uptown
             C                  F
And learn to live with the unimaginable
                           Am
I spend hours in the garden
                    Bbsus2
I walk alone to the store 
And it's quiet uptown
Dm  C                           F
  I never liked the quiet before
                                 C
I take the children to church on Sunday
                               Bbsus2
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
Dm     C                          F
  That never used to happen before

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                              C
If you see him in the street, walking by
                                  Bbsus2
Himself, talking to himself, have pity
Philip, you would like it uptown
     Dm
It's quiet uptown
      C                        F
He is working through the unimaginable
                           C
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
                                    Bbsus2
They say he walks the length of the city
You knock me out, I fall apart
Dm           C    F
  Can you imagine?

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F                    C
 Look at where we are
Look at where we started
Bbsus2
      I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
Dm                C                    F
  But hear me out. That would be enough
If I could spare his life
C                                  Bbsus2
 If I could trade his life for mine
                               Dm                    C
He'd be standing here right now  And you would smile,
and that would be enough
F                       Dm
 I don't pretend to know
                       F
The challenges we're facing
                       Bbsus2              Bbm
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
             F
And you need time
But I'm not afraid
C                    Bbsus2
 I know who I married
                                  Dm C
Just let me stay here by your side
                    F
That would be enough

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                              C
If you see him in the street, walking by her
                                Bbsus2
Side, talking by her side, have pity
                                   Dm
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
      C                     F
He is trying to do the unimaginable
                              C
See them walking in the park, long after dark
                            Bbsus2
Taking in the sights of the city
                             Dm
Look around, look around, Eliza
         C                     F
They are trying to do the unimaginable

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                                       C
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
         C            F
We push away the unimaginable
                               C
They are standing in the garden
                     Bbsus2
Alexander by Eliza's side  
                  Dm C
She takes his hand
             F
It's quiet uptown
            C
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Bbsus2            Dm         C
      Forgiveness.  Can you imagine?

[Outro]
---------------------
F                              C
 If you see him in the street, walking by her
                                Bbsus2
Side, talking by her side, have pity
Dm         C                      F
  They are going through the unimaginable
