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. 
 
G 
The woman holding on for life, 
Em 
The dying man giving up the fight 
C                      C2        D 
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes 
G 
The tears of shame for what's been done, 
Em 
The silence when the words won't come 
C                       C2        D 
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes. 
 
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. 
 
C2 
Better than a church bell ringing, 
G                            C2           D 
Better than a choir singing out,singing out. 
 
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.
