Chords with lyrics
[Intro]
Bb majorBb FF G minorGm Eb MajorEb
[Verse 1]
Bb majorBb FF
There are moments that the words don't reach
G minorGm
There is suffering too terrible to name
Eb MajorEb
You hold your child as tight as you can
Bb majorBb
Then push away the unimaginable
FF
The moments when you're in so deep
G minorGm
Feels easier to just swim down
Eb MajorEb
And so they move uptown
Bb majorBb
And learn to live with the unimaginable
Bb majorBb FF
I spend hours in the garden
G minorGm
I walk alone to the store
Eb MajorEb
And it's quiet uptown
Bb majorBb
I never liked the quiet before
FF
I take the children to church on Sunday
G minorGm
A augmentedA sign of the cross at the door
Eb MajorEb
And I pray
Bb majorBb
That never used to happen before
[Chorus]
FF
If you see him in the street, walking by himself
G minorGm
Talking to himself, have pity
Eb MajorEb
You would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown
Bb majorBb
He is working through the unimaginable
FF
His hair has gone grey, he passes every day
G minorGm
They say he walks the length of the city
Eb MajorEb
You knock me out, I fall apart
Bb majorBb
Can you imagine?
[Verse 2]
Bb majorBb
Look at where we are
FF
Look at where we started
G minorGm
I know I don't deserve you
Eb MajorEb
But hear me out, that would be enough
Bb majorBb
If I could spare his life
FF G minorGm
If I could trade his life for mine
Eb MajorEb
He'd be standing here right now
FF
And you would smile, and that would be enough
G minorGm DmDm
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing
Eb MajorEb EbmEbm
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
Bb majorBb
And you need time
FF
But I'm not afraid, I know who I married
G minorGm Eb MajorEb
Just let me stay here by your side
Bb majorBb
And that would be enough
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb FF
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
G minorGm
Talking by her side, have pity
Eb MajorEb
Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
Bb majorBb
He is trying to do the unimaginable
FF
See them walking in the park, long after dark
G minorGm
Taking in the sights of the city
Eb MajorEb
Look around, look around, look around
Bb majorBb
They are trying to do the unimaginable
[Verse 3]
Bb majorBb FF
There are moments that the words don't reach
G minorGm
There's a grace too powerful to name
Eb MajorEb
We push away what we can never understand
Bb majorBb
We push away the unimaginable
FF
They are standing in the garden
G minorGm
Standing there side by side
Eb MajorEb
She takes his hand
Bb majorBb
It's quiet uptown
FF
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
G minorGm Eb MajorEb
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb FF
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
G minorGm
Talking by her side, have pity
Eb MajorEb
Look around, look around
Bb majorBb
