[Verse 1]
 
(Play as intro with the hammer-ons)
 
F         C   F             C
 We might kiss when we are alone
F        C
 nobody's watching
         G            C
We might take it home
F         C        F             C
 We might make out when nobody's there
F                    C
 It's not that we're scared
                    G
It's just that it's delicate
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(Strum the chords, * = play with hammer-ons)
 
              F
So why do you fill my sorrow
         C
With the words you've borrowed
         F                 C *
From the only place you've known
               F
And why do you sing Hallelujah
      C
If it means nothing to you
           F               G
Why do you sing with me at all?
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F         C    F          C
 We might live like never before
F                        C
 When there's nothing to give
                G
Well how can we ask for more
F         C         F              C
 We might make love in some sacred place
F                C       G
The look on your face is delicate
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(Strum the chords, * = play with hammer-ons)
 
              F
So why do you fill my sorrow
         C
With the words you've borrowed
         F                 C *
From the only place you've known
               F
And why do you sing Hallelujah
      C
If it means nothing to you
           F               G
Why do you sing with me at all?
 
              F
So why do you fill my sorrow
         C
With the words you've borrowed
         F                 C *
From the only place you've known
               F
And why do you sing Hallelujah
      C
If it means nothing to you
           F               G
Why do you sing with me at all?
 
 
[Outro]
 
Just strum down using your thumb

The second chorus ends with "G" not with "C", like this: F So why do you fill my sorrow C With the words you've borrowed F C(with hammer ons) From the only place you've known F And why do you sing Hallelujah C If it means nothing to you F G

[code] e-------------------------- B--1----1---1----1---1----- G--0h2--0---0h2--0---0h2--- D--3----3---3----3---3----- A--3----3---3----3---3----- E-------------------------- [/code] The hammer-ons work more like above... play it quickly :)

Not quite the G comes in on the "at all" before he starts wailing the second part
