Its Quiet Uptown chords by Hamilton Musical

Chords with lyrics

I put a capo on the first fret, but it sounds find anywhere.


G+G                      D MajorD
   There are moments that the words don't reach

                  E minorEm
There is suffering too terrible to name

                   C majorC
You hold your child as tight as you can

             G+G
And push away the unimaginable

               D MajorD
The moments when you're in so deep

               E minorEm
It feels easier to just swim down

           C majorC
The Hamiltons move uptown

                  G+G
And learn to live with the unimaginable

                D MajorD
I spend hours in the garden

          E minorEm
I walk alone to the store

            C majorC
And it's quiet uptown

              G+G
I never liked the quiet before

                 D MajorD
I take the children to church on Sunday

              E minorEm
A augmentedA sign of the cross at the door

       C majorC
And I pray

               G+G
That never used to happen before

If you see him in the street

D MajorD
Walking by himself, talking to himself

   E minorEm
Have pity

                     C majorC
Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown

                 G+G
He is working through the unimaginable


His hair has gone gray

  D MajorD
He passes every day

                  E minorEm
They say he walks the length of the city

             C majorC
You knock me out, I fall apart

          G+G
Can you imagine?


Look at where we are

D MajorD
Look at where we started

E minorEm
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza

C majorC
But hear me out, that would be enough

G+G
If I could spare his life

D MajorD               E minorEm
If I could trade his life for mine

              C majorC
He'd be standing here right now


And you would smile

             G+G
And that would be enough

          D MajorD             E minorEm
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing

           C majorC
I know there's no replacing what we've lost

       G+G
And you need time

            D MajorD
But I'm not afraid


I know who I married

E minorEm              C majorC
Just let me stay here by your side

            G+G
That would be enough


If you see him in the street

D MajorD
Walking by her side


Talking by her side

   E minorEm
Have pity


Eliza, do you like it uptown

   C majorC
It's quiet uptown

                G+G
He is trying to do the unimaginable

               D MajorD
See them walking in the park, long after dark

              E minorEm
Taking in the sights of the city

              C majorC
Look around, look around, Eliza

                 G+G
They are trying to do the unimaginable

                    D MajorD
There are moments that the words don't reach

                 E minorEm
There is a grace too powerful to name

                  C majorC
We push away what we can never understand

             G+G
We push away the unimaginable

                  D MajorD
They are standing in the garden

           E minorEm
Alexander by Eliza's side

         C majorC
She takes his hand

       G+G
It's quiet uptown

        D MajorD
Forgiveness


Can you imagine?

E minorEm       C majorC
Forgiveness


Can you imagine?

G+G
If you see him in the street

D MajorD
Walking by her side


Talking by her side

   E minorEm
Have pity

C majorC                 G+G *(one stroke)
They are going through the unimaginable
