G
God loves a lullaby
Em
In a mothers tears in the dead of night
C                  C2           D
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
G
God loves the drunkards cry,
Em
The soldiers plea not to let him die
C                  C2           D
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.


[Chorus]
Em               C2
We pour out our miseries
G                D
God just hears a melody
Em            C2
Beautiful the mess we are
G                   D         A
The honest cries of breaking hearts
C2                 D       G
Are better than a Hallelujah.


[Verse]
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.


[Chorus]
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah


[Bridge]
C2
Better than a church bell ringing,
G                            C2           D
Better than a choir singing out,singing out.


[Chorus]
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
