VERSE 1

^GGod loves a lullaby ^Em7In a mothers tears in the dead of night ^C2Better than a Hallelujah sometim^Ges. ^GGod loves the drunkards cry, ^Em7The soldiers plea not to let him die ^CBetter than a Halle^C2lujah sometim^Ges.

CHORUS

We pour ^Emout our miseries ^C2 ^GGod just hears a ^Dmelody ^EmBeautiful the ^C2mess we are G D Am Em7-C The honest cries of breaking hearts ^C2Are better than a Hallelujah.

VERSE 2 The woman holding on for life, The dying man giving up the fight Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes The tears of shame for what's been done, The silence when the words won't come Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes. (CHOURS) BRIDGE

^CBetter than a church bell ringing, ^GBetter than a choir singing o^Amut, singing o^Cut.

(CHORUS)x2
