The Opposite of Hallelujah Lyrics
by Jens Lekman
This is a great song and the chord aren't too hard but as there isn't a version on here
thought I'd put my version up.
I'm not going to tab the part after the first chorus (starts at about 2:07) because
are no chords, it's just
strings and bass and from the videos I've seen, Lekman leaves that part out when
solo.
Violin part (intro and repeated later)
I took my sister down to the ocean
But the ocean made me feel stupid
Those words of wisdom I had prepared
All seemed to vanish into thin air
Into the waves I stared
C Am G F x4 with violin part
I picked up a seashell to illustrate my homelessness
But a crab crawled out of it making it useless
And all my metaphors fell flat
Down on the rocks where we sat
She asked where are you at?
But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
It's the opposite of being you
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
We made our way home on the bikes we had borrowed
I still never told you about unstoppable sorrow
You still think I'm someone to look up to
I still don't know anything about you
Is it in you too?
You've got so much to live for, little
sister, You've got so much to live for
But sister, it's the opposite of hallelujah
It's the opposite of being you
You don't know 'cause it just passes right through you
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
You don't know what I'm going through
C Am G F repeat till end.
