There are moments that the words don't reach

There is suffering too terrible to name

The moments when you're in so deep

It feels easier to just swim down
A#
The Hamiltons move uptown

I walk alone to the store

And it's quiet uptown
F
I never liked the quiet before
C
I take the children to church on Sunday

A sign of the cross at the door

Walking by himself, talking to himself

Have pity

Can you imagine?
Look at where we are

Look at where we started
Dm
I know I don't deserve you, Eliza

But hear me out, that would be enough

If I could spare his life
C Dm
If I could trade his life for mine

He'd be standing here right now
And you would smile

And that would be enough

Just let me stay here by your side

We push away the unimaginable
