VERSE 1 G God loves a lullaby Em7 In a mothers tears in the dead of night C2 G Better than a Hallelujah sometimes. G God loves the drunkards cry, Em7 The soldiers plea not to let him die C C2 G 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 Am Em7-C The honest cries of breaking hearts C2 Are 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 C Better than a church bell ringing, G Am C Better than a choir singing out, singing out. (CHORUS)x2
