[VERSE]
Bb Bbm Bb Dm
There are moments that the words don't reach
Eb
There is suffering too terrible to name
Gm
You hold your child as tight as you can
F Bb
Then push away the unimaginable
Bbmaj7
The moments when you're in so deep
Eb
Feels easier to just swim down
Gm
And so they move uptown
F Bb
And learn to live with the unimaginable
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Bb Dm Eb
[VERSE]
Bb
I spend hours in the garden
Bbmaj7 Eb
I walk alone to the store
Eb Gm
And it's quiet uptown
F Bb
I never liked the quiet before
Bb Bbmaj7
I take the children to church on Sunday
Eb
A sign of the cross at the door
Gm
And I pray
F Bb
That never used to happen before
[CHORUS]
Bb Bbmaj7
If you see him in the street walking by himself
Eb
Talking to himself, have pity
Gm
You would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown
F Bb
He is working through the unimaginable
Bbmaj7
His hair has gone grey, he passes every day
Eb
They say he walks the length of the city
Eb Gm
You knock me out, I fall apart
F
Can you imagine?
[BRIDGE]
Bb
Look at where we are
Bbmaj7
Look at where we started
Eb
I know I don't deserve you
Gm F
But hear me out, that would be enough
Bb
If I could spare his life
Bbmaj7 Eb
If I could trade his life for mine
Eb
He'd be standing here right now
Gm
And you would smile
F
And that would be enough
Gm
I don't pretend to know
Gm Dm
The challenges we're facing
Eb Ebm
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
Bb
And you need time
Bb
But I'm not afraid
Bbmaj7
I know who I married
Eb Gm
Just let me stay here by your side
F Bb
And that would be enough
[CHORUS]
Bb Bbmaj7
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
Eb
Talking by her side, have pity
Eb Gm
Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
F Bb
He is trying to do the unimaginable
Bb Bbmaj7
If you see him walking in the park, long after dark
Eb
Taking in the sights of the city
Eb Gm
Look around, look around, look around
F Bb
They are trying to do the unimaginable
[VERSE]
Bb Dm
There are moments that the words don't reach
Dm Eb
There's a grace too powerful to name
Eb Gm
We push away what we could never understand
F Bb
We push away the unimaginable
Bb
They're standing in the garden
Bbmaj7 Eb
Standing there side by side
Eb Gm
She takes his hand
F
It's quiet uptown
Bb Bbmaj7 Eb
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
Eb Gm F Bb
Forgiveness, can you imagine?
[CHORUS]
Bb Bbmaj7
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
Eb
Talking by her side, have pity
Eb Gm
Look around, look around
Gm F Bb
They are going through the unimaginable
