It's Quiet Uptown Tab par Lin-Manuel Miranda

F                                            C
There are moments that the words don't reach
                                   Dm
There is suffering too terrible to name
                                     A#
You hold your child as tight as you can
                          F
And push away the unimaginable
                              C
The moments when you're in so deep
                             Dm
It feels easier to just swim down
                  A#
The Hamiltons move uptown
                                   F
And learn to live with the unimaginable


                           C
I spend hours in the garden
                    Dm
I walk alone to the store
                    A#
And it's quiet uptown
                           F
I never liked the quiet before
                                 C
I take the children to church on Sunday
                           Dm
A sign of the cross at the door
           A#
And I pray
                             F
That never used to happen before



If you see him in the street
C
Walking by himself, talking to himself
     Dm
Have pity


                                         A#
Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown


                                  F
He is working through the unimaginable


His hair has gone gray
   C
He passes every day
                                    Dm
They say he walks the length of the city


                          A#
You knock me out, I fall apart

                  F
Can you imagine?


Look at where we are
C
Look at where we started
Dm
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
A#
But hear me out, that would be enough

F
If I could spare his life
C                             Dm
If I could trade his life for mine
                            A#
He'd be standing here right now

And you would smile
                          C
And that would be enough


                   Dm                         Am
I don't pretend to know the challenges we're facing
                      A#
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
             F
And you need time
                    C
But I'm not afraid

I know who I married
Dm                            A#
Just let me stay here by your side
                     F
That would be enough



If you see him in the street
C
Walking by her side

Talking by her side
     Dm
Have pity


Eliza, do you like it uptown
      A#
It's quiet uptown


                               F
He is trying to do the unimaginable

                              C
See them walking in the park, long after dark
                            Dm
Taking in the sights of the city


                            A#
Look around, look around, Eliza


                                  F
They are trying to do the unimaginable


                                        C
There are moments that the words don't reach
                                 Dm
There is a grace too powerful to name
                                    A#
We push away what we can never understand
                         F
We push away the unimaginable
                                   C
They are standing in the garden
                      Dm
Alexander by Eliza's side
                 A#
She takes his hand


             F
It's quiet uptown

                C
Forgiveness

Can you imagine?
Dm              A#
Forgiveness

Can you imagine?

F
If you see him in the street
C
Walking by her side

Talking by her side
     Dm
Have pity
A#                                 F
They are going through the unimaginable
