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