Broken Hallelujah

	  		
 
 

Intro: G D Em D G 

Verse: 
G              D                   Em 
Two languages I heard when I was young 
         C                            G 
One said make-believe, the other said run. 
G                        D            Em 
But I have no peace when I try to pretend, 
    C                           G         D 
And running never got me anywhere in the end. 

C 
Something deep inside me was longing just to breathe 
    G                             D 
And neither voice I followed ever made me truly free. 

Pre-Chorus 
  G             Em7             Em    D 
A heart divided cannot bear the weight 
            C                             G    D 
I'd almost given up and then I found this place 
      C 
Where broken children gather and they sing their Father's song 
    G                              D 
My heart was aching at the sound, I had to sing along 

 
                  C                            G 
And find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide 
                D                         Em 
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind 
                C                     G 
I'll be singing loud, I'll be singing clear 
            D                     C 
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear 
                 Em  D C 
Singing broken Hallelujahs 
C                   G

Solo: G Em G 

Verse: 
G                  D            Em  G 
Well history keeps trying to repeat 
        C                             G 
And the only way to stop its curse is learning how to speak 
                    Em7             Em    G 
The language that is written in our hearts 
C            G                                   D 
Freedom comes when we find the place where mercy starts 

Pre-Chorus 
C 
So children gather 'round me now and sing that holy song 
      G                             D 
Where those that do not have a home can finally belong 


                  C                           G 
And find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide 
                D                         Em 
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind 
                C                     G 
I'll be singing loud, I'll be singing clear 
            D                     C 
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear 
                 Em  D C 
Singing broken Hallelujahs 


Bridge: 
Em 
Blessed are the pouring hearts 
D 
Blessed are the weary ones 
Am 
Blessed are the ones who weep 
    C             D 
For they will see eternity 

Em 
Blessed are the ones who hunger 
D 
Blessed are the ones who thirst 
Am                            C 
Blessed are the sick and needy 

       D              Am                         Em 
You'll find us on our knees, with nothing left to hide 
                 D                                C 
We'll be in the river, leaving all our sins behind 


D             C                           G 
Find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide 
                D                         Em 
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind 
                C                          G 
I'll be singing loud, yeah I'll be singing clear 
            D                     C 
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear 
                 Em  D C
