Introduction:

 G7M       D       G7M   D 
We might kiss we are alone
 G7M       D 
nobody's watching
                                   A       D 
I might take you home
 G7M                 D     G7M                 D 
We might make out when nobody's there
 G7M                             D 
It's not that we're scared
                                         A 
It's just that it's delicate
                             G7M 
So why do you fill my sorrow
                   D 
With the words you've borrowed
                   G7M                         D 
From the only place you've known
         G7M 
And why do you sing Hallelujah
             D 
If it means nothing to you
                     G7M                       D 
Why do you sing with me at all?
 G7M       D       G7M               D 
We might live like never before
 G7M                                     D 
When there's nothing to give
                                                 A       D 
Well how can we ask for more
 G7M                 D             G7M             D 
We might make love in some sacred place
                                                   A 
The look on your face is delicate
                             G7M 
So why do you fill my sorrow
                   D 
With the words you've borrowed
                   G7M                         D 
From the only place you've known
         G7M 
And why do you sing Hallelujah
             D 
If it means nothing to you
                     G7M                       D 
Why do you sing with me at all?
                             G7M 
So why do you fill my sorrow
                   D 
With the words you've borrowed
                   G7M                         D 
From the only place you've known
         G7M 
And why do you sing Hallelujah
             D 
If it means nothing to you
                     G7M                       D 
Why do you sing with me at all?
