Hamilton - Its Quiet Uptown Chords

[Chorus]
 
F                                       F/A
There are moments that the words don’t reach
                                    F/Bb
There is suffering too terrible to name
                                     F/D
You hold your child as tight as you can
      F/C
And push away the unimaginable
F                            C4/E
The moments when you’re in so deep
                              Bb9/F
It feels easier to just swim down
                     Dm
The Hamiltons move uptown
              Csus          C
And learn to live with the unimaginable
 
 
[Verse]
 
F                       C/E
I spend hours in the garden
                      Bbsus/F
I walk alone to the store
                Dm
And it’s quiet uptown
      C/E
I never liked the quiet before
F                                 C/E
I take the children to church on Sunday
                             Bb9
A sign of the cross at the door
          Dm
And I pray
       C                      F
That never used to happen before
 
F
If you see him in the street,
C/E
walking by Himself, talking to himself, 
Bb9
Have pity Philip, you would like it uptown 
       Dm                 C
It's quiet uptown  He is working through the unimaginable
 
F                           C/E
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day They say he walks the length of the city
Bb9
You knock me out, I fall apart
Dm          Csus    C
Can you imagine?
 
F
Look at where we are
C/E
Look at where we started
Bbsus2/F
I know I don’t deserve you, Eliza
Dm                C
But hear me out. That would be enough
 
F
If I could spare his life
C/E
If I could trade his life for mine
Bb9/D                         Dm/A
He’d be standing here right now
               Csus/G             C/G
And you would smile, and that would be enough
 
F/C
I don’t pretend to know
Dm
The challenges we’re facing
F/A                  Bb9/D              Bbm/Db
I know there’s no replacing what we’ve lost
                Fsus2
And you need time
                 C/E
But I’m not afraid
                 Bbmaj9/D
I know who I married
               Bb/D            Dm/A
Just let me stay here by your side
Csus         C
That would be enough
 
F
If you see him in the street, 
C/E
Walking by her Side, talking by her side, 
Bbmaj9
Have pity, Eliza, do you like it uptown? 
     Dm                 Csus                  C
It’s quiet uptown He is trying to do the unimaginable
F                              C/E
See them walking in the park, long after dark
                            Bb9
Taking in the sights of the city
Bb9                    Dm
Look around, look around, Eliza
          Csus             C        F
They are trying to do the unimaginable
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                                      Fmaj9/A
There are moments that the words don’t reach
                                 Bbsus2
There is a grace too powerful to name
                                   Dm
We push away what we can never understand
      Csus         C       F
We push away the unimaginable
 
                          C/E
They are standing in the garden
                     Bbsus2
Alexander by Eliza’s side
              Dm
She takes his hand
C
It’s quiet uptown
 
Fsus2         C/E
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
Bb/D          Dm/A   Csus  C
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
 
F                              C/E
If you see him in the street, walking by her side
                           Bb9
Talking by her side, have pity
Dm        C                    F
They are going through the unimaginable
