[Intro]
F Am Bb Dm C
[Verse 1]
FThere are moments that the words don’t reAmach
There is suffering too terrible to nBbame
You hold your child as tight as you cDman
AndC push away the unimaginable F
The moments when you’re in so dAmeep
It feels easier to just swim dBbown
The Hamiltons move uptDmown
And learn to liCve with the unimaginable F
I spend hours in the gaAmrden
I walk alone to the stBbore
And it’s quiet upDmtown
IC never liked the quiet beforeF
I take the children to church on SuAmnday
A sign of the cross at the dBboor
And I pDmray
ThatC never used to happen before F
[Chorus 1]
If you see him in the street,Am walking by himself
Talking to himself, have piBbty
Philip, you would like it uptown, it’s qDmuiet uptown
He is Cworking through the unimaginableF
His hair has gone grey he pAmasses every day)
They say he walks the length of the cBbity
You knock me out, I fall aDmpart
Can you imagCine? F
[Bridge]
Look at where we areAm
Look at where we stBbarted
I know I don’t deserve you, ElizaDm
But hear me ouCt
That would be enouFgh
If I could spare his lAmife
If I could trade his life for mBbine
He’d be standing here right nDmow
And you would smileC, and that would be enoughF
I don’t pretend to kDmnow
The challenges we’re fAmacing
I know there’s no repBblacing what we’ve lBbmost
And you need tFime
But I’m not afraidAm
I know who I marrieBbd
Just let me stay here by your sDmide
CThat would be enoughF
[Chorus 2]
If you see him in the street,Am walking her side
Talking by her side, have pBbity
Eliza, do you like it uptown, it’s qDmuiet uptown
He isC trying to do the unimaginableF
See them walking in the parkAm, long after dark
Taking in the sights of the cBbity
Look around, look around, EDmliza
They areC trying to do the unimaginableF
[Verse 2]
There are moments that the words don’t rAmeach
There is a grace too powerful to nBbame
We push away what we can never underDmstand
WeC push away the unimaginableF
They are standing in the gAmarden
Alexander by Eliza’s sideBb
She takes his hDmand C it’s quiet uptownF
[Chorus 3]

If you see him in the streetAm, walking by her side
Talking by her side, have pitBby Dm
They Care going through the unimaginable
