WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Broadway - Hamilton - Its Quiet Uptown Chords | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
D Bm
There are moments that the words don't reach
G
There is suffering too terrible to name
A
You hold your child as tight as you can
D
And push away the unimaginable
Bm
The moments when you're in so deep
G
It feels easier to just swim down
A
The Hamiltons move uptown
D (hold)
And learn to live with the unimaginable
[Verse 2]
G
I spend hours in the garden
Bm
I walk alone to the store
A
And it's quiet uptown
D
I never liked the quiet before
Bm
I take the children to church on Sunday
G
A sign of the cross at the door
A
And I pray
That never used to happen before
[Chorus 1]
D Bm
If you see him in the street, walking by
G
Himself, talking to himself, have pity
Philip, you would like it uptown
A
It's quiet uptown
He is working through the unimaginable
[Chorus 2]
D Bm
His hair has gone grey. He passes every day
G
They say he walks the length of the city
A
You knock me out, I fall apart
Can you imagine?
[Bridge 1]
D
Look at where we are
Bm G
Look at where we started
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
A
But hear me out. That would be enough
D
If I could spare his life
Bm G
If I could trade his life for mine
He'd be standing here right now
A
And you would smile, and that would be enough
D Bm
I don't pretend to know
G
The challenges we're facing
A
I know there's no replacing what we've lost
D
And you need time
Bm
But I'm not afraid
I know who I married
G A (repeat, and grow faster. stop when the line is sung)
Just let me stay here by your side
That would be enough
[Chorus 3]
D Bm
If you see him in the street, walking by her
G
Side, talking by her side, have pity
A
Eliza, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown
He is trying to do the unimaginable
[Chorus 4]
D Bm
See them walking in the park, long after dark
G
Taking in the sights of the city
A (grow stronger through the next line, then go to single strums)
Look around, look around, Eliza
They are trying to do the unimaginable
[Bridge 2]
D
There are moments that the words don't reach
Bm G
There is a grace too powerful to name
A
We push away what we can never understand
We push away the unimaginable
D Bm
They are standing in the garden
G
Alexander by Eliza's side
A
She takes his hand
It's quiet uptown
[Outro]
D Bm
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
D Bm
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
D Bm
If you see him in the street, walking by her
G
Side, talking by her side, have pity
A
They are going through the unimaginable
[Ending]
