Kelly Clarkson - The Hamilton Mixtape - "It's Quiet Uptown" [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
