It's Quiet Uptown chords by Hamilton Musical

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



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

                                   Em
There is suffering too terrible to name

                                     C
You hold your child as tight as you can

                          G
And push away the unimaginable

                              D
The moments when you're in so deep

                             Em
It feels easier to just swim down

                     C
The Hamiltons move uptown

                                   G
And learn to live with the unimaginable

                                D
I spend hours in the garden

                    Em
I walk alone to the store

                        C
And it's quiet uptown

                           G
I never liked the quiet before

                                 D
I take the children to church on Sunday

                           Em
A sign of the cross at the door

              C
And I pray

                             G
That never used to happen before


If you see him in the street

D
Walking by himself, talking to himself

     Em
Have pity

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

                                  G
He is working through the unimaginable


His hair has gone gray

   D
He passes every day

                                    Em
They say he walks the length of the city

                          C
You knock me out, I fall apart

                    G
Can you imagine?


Look at where we are

D
Look at where we started

Em
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza

C
But hear me out, that would be enough

G
If I could spare his life

D                             Em
If I could trade his life for mine

                            C
He'd be standing here right now


And you would smile

                          G
And that would be enough

                   D                          Em
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing

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

             G
And you need time

                       D
But I'm not afraid


I know who I married

Em                            C
Just let me stay here by your side

                        G
That would be enough


If you see him in the street

D
Walking by her side


Talking by her side

     Em
Have pity


Eliza, do you like it uptown

      C
It's quiet uptown

                               G
He is trying to do the unimaginable

                              D
See them walking in the park, long after dark

                            Em
Taking in the sights of the city

                            C
Look around, look around, Eliza

                                  G
They are trying to do the unimaginable

                                        D
There are moments that the words don't reach

                                 Em
There is a grace too powerful to name

                                    C
We push away what we can never understand

                         G
We push away the unimaginable

                                   D
They are standing in the garden

                      Em
Alexander by Eliza's side

                 C
She takes his hand

             G
It's quiet uptown

                D
Forgiveness


Can you imagine?

Em              C
Forgiveness


Can you imagine?

G
If you see him in the street

D
Walking by her side


Talking by her side

     Em
Have pity

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