Chords: G9 D4 C9 Em7 G God loves a lullaby D In a mothers tears in the dead of night C D Better than a Hallelujah sometimes G God loves a drunkard's cry D a soldier's plea not to let him die C Better than a Hallelujah sometimes Em D We pour out our misery C D God just hears a melody Em D Beautiful the mess we are C D let ring the honest cries of breaking hearts G Better than a hallelujah the woman holding on for life the dying man giving up the fight are better than a hallelujah sometimes tears of shame for what's been done the silence when the words won't come are better than a hallelujah sometimes Em D We pour out our misery C D God just hears a melody Em D Beautiful the mess we are C D let ring the honest cries of breaking hearts Better than a hallelujah C Better than a church bell ringing D C D Better than a choir singing out, singing out Em D We pour out our misery C D God just hears a melody Em D Beautiful the mess we are C D let ring the honest cries of breaking hearts G Better than a hallelujah
