BbThere are Bbmmoments Bbthat the words don't Dmreach
There is suffering too terrible to Ebname
You hold your child as tight as you cGman
Then pFush away the unimaBbginable
The moments when you're in so Bbmaj7deep
Feels easier to just swim dEbown
And so they move uptGmown
And learn to liFve with the unimagBbinable
[INSTRUMENTAL] 
Bb Dm Eb

I spend hoBburs in the garden
I Bbmaj7walk alone to the storeEb  
EbAnd it's quiet uptGmown
I neFver liked the quiet befBbore
BbI take the children to church on SunBbmaj7day
A sign of the cross at the dEboor
And I pGmray
That neFver used to happen befBbore
[CHORUS]
If you see Bbhim in the street walkBbmaj7ing by himself
Talking to himself, have Ebpity
You would like it uptown, it's quiGmet uptown
He is workiFng through the unimaginBbable
His hair has gone grey, he Bbmaj7passes every day
They say he walks the length of the Ebcity
EbYou knock me out, I fall aGmpart
Can you imagine?F  
[BRIDGE]
BbLook at where we are
Bbmaj7Look at where we started
EbI know I don't deserve you
GmBut hear me out, Fthat would be enough
BbIf I could spare his life
IBbmaj7f I could trade his life for mEbine
EbHe'd be standing here right now
GmAnd you would smile
FAnd that would be enough
I don't pretend to knGmow

I know there's no replaEbcing what we've Ebmlost
And you need tiBbme
