A#m         D#/G      G#              C#
I met two angels but they were in disguise
A#m       G#/C       C#
Took one look to realize
A#m       D#/G         G#             C#
Tell 'em anything and they will sympathize
A#m   G#/C      C#
These arms hold me tight
A#m   D#/G            G#              C#
Old fears, helped to ease them in my mind
A#m  D#/G           G#               C#
New tears say that they will dry in time

A#m  D#/G       G#            C#
Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
      G# C#/G# G# x2
Hallelujah

Laughing together like our thoughts are harmonized
Been that way since '95
Give me direction when it is hard to fight
Three roads, one light
Now and then I can lean my back to yours
Travelin' like our feet don't touch the floor

A#m  D#/G        G#            C#
 Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?

C#   C#/C Fm A# D# D#sus4 D#   C# C#/C Fm A# D#
Hallelu--jah,           hallelujah
    C#          Fm            F# A#m
Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?

I had a best friend but she has come to pass
One I wish I could see now
You always remind me that memories will last
These arms reach out
You were there to protect me like a shield
Long hair, running with me through the field
Everywhere, you've been with me all along

Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah? (Hallelujah)
Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?

Hallelujah
