Id Sing Hallelujah

Bb F C Dm

[Verse]
  Bb        F       C            
I left Wichita on a cracked 
   Dm
western road
    Bb           F          C
For Missouri and all of her caverns
   Bb           F           C    
To hide like an outlaw from what 
       Dm
I have heard
          Bb             F    
There are some things in life I 
  C             F
don't want to learn

    Bb       F        C           
But I am not Lewis or Clark; I am 
Dm     Bb
only a man
         F           C
Who gets lost in his questions like
Bb           F              C   
"€œWhy doesn't love heal when we
       Dm
 need it most?€"
     Bb       F           C       
Will somebody give me the answer I 
 F
need?

[Chorus]
    Dm        Bb        C    
I'd sing hallelujah, if I could 
                  Dm
recall what it means
         Bb       C
And just who I am praising
  Dm               Bb      C     
I don't think that I can express 
      Dm
it in words

   Dm        Bb     C      
So I let the melody do all my 
   F
speaking

[Verse]
Bb          F          C    
Just when I think I am safe and 
      Dm
secure
             Bb        F          
There's that haunting again in my 
C
conscience
    Bb           F          C    
The ticking, the tapping of cold 
    Dm
memory
       Bb       F            C   
Like a steel radiator that's run 
       F
out of steam

      Bb          F           C  
We're pushin' and pullin', we 
            Dm
hold ourselves down
Bb F               C
It starts with the small things
   Bb          F         C       
So I will keep trying to become 
   Dm           Bb
the man that you need
    F            C            F
And remember you taught me to sing

[Chorus]
        Dm        Bb        C    
And I'd sing hallelujah, if I 
                  Dm
could recall what it means
         Bb       C
And just who I am praising
  Dm               Bb      C     
I don't think that I can express 
      Dm
it in words
   Dm        Bb     C      
So I let the melody do all my 
   F
speaking

[Bridge]
F             Dm
Take what you need
      Bb           F
Don't take any more
    F             Dm
Oh, take what you need
      Bb       F
Don't take any more

[Chorus]
    Dm        Bb        C    
I'd sing hallelujah, if I could 
                  Dm
recall what it means
         Bb       C
And just who I am praising
  Dm               Bb      C     
I don't think that I can express 
      Dm
it in words
   Dm        Bb     C      
So I let the melody do all my 
   F
