Angelica:
F                                            C
      There are moments that the words don't reach
                                   Dm
There is suffering too terrible to name
                                     Bb
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

Angelica  nsemble:
                     Bb
The Hamiltons move uptown
                                   F
And learn to live with the unimaginable

Hamilton:
                                C
I spend hours in the garden
                    Dm
I walk alone to the store
                        Bb
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
              Bb
And I pray
                             F
That never used to happen before

Angelica/Women:

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

Hamilton:
                                         Bb
Phillip, you would like it uptown, it's quiet uptown

Angelica/Women:
                                  F
He is working through the unimaginable

All men except Hamilton:
His hair has gone gray
   C
He passes every day
                                    Dm
They say he walks the length of the city

Hamilton:
                          Bb
You knock me out, I fall apart

Company except Hamilton and Eliza:
                    F
Can you imagine?

Hamilton:
Look at where we are
C
Look at where we started
Dm
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza
Bb
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
                            Bb
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
                      Bb
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                            Bb
Just let me stay here by your side
                        F
That would be enough

Company except Hamilton and Eliza:
If you see him in the street
C
Walking by her side

Talking by her side
     Dm
Have pity

Hamilton:
Eliza, do you like it uptown
      Bb
It's quiet uptown

Company except Hamilton and Eliza:
                               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

Hamilton:
                            Bb
Look around, look around, Eliza

Company except Hamilton and Eliza:
                                  F
They are trying to do the unimaginable

Angelica:
                                        C
There are moments that the words don't reach
                                 Dm
There is a grace too powerful to name
                                    Bb
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
                 Bb
She takes his hand

Eliza:
             F
It's quiet uptown

Company except Hamilton and Eliza:
                C
Forgiveness

Can you imagine?
Dm              Bb
Forgiveness

Can you imagine?

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

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

If you don’t like the sound of playing chords in this song, if you use the fingerings for the chords but play it the way you play the intro, it sounds really nice. You just have to figure out the timing for changing the chords

+2 is really easy and a good key

i played the pizzicto pattern in the tab on all the chords in the verse but i played one strum for all the chords in the chorus until the last bit where it repeats then i pizzicato’d again
