Jenny Simmons - Broken Hallelujah Chords

Standard Tuning
Capo 1

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

Chorus:
                  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
You can find me here

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

Chorus:
                  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

Chorus:
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
Singing broken Hallelujahs
  Em D C
Hallelujahs
  Em D C
Hallelujahs

C                   G
