[Verse]
GGod loves a lullaby
EmIn a mothers tears in the dead of night
CBetter than a HalleC2lujah sometimDes.
GGod loves the drunkards cry,
EmThe soldiers plea not to let him die
CBetter than a HalleC2lujah sometimDes.
[Chorus]
EmWe pour out our mC2iseries
GGod just hears a Dmelody
EmBeautiful the C2mess we are
GThe honest cries of Dbreaking hAearts
C2Are better than a HDallelujaGh.
[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]
C2Better than a church bell ringing,
GBetter than a choir singing oC2ut,singing ouDt.
[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
Repeat Chorus
