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