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
