I've heard there was a secret chord
                     
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
                                            
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
                              
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
              
The minor fall, the major lift
                          
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

            
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
                  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

                     
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
                   
You saw her bathing on the roof
                                     
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
                         
She tied you to a kitchen chair
                     
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
                              
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
                  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 


               
Maybe I've been here before
                 
I know this room, I've walked this floor
                                   
I used to live alone before I knew you
                               
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
              
Love is not a victory march
                                   
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
                  
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 


                
There was a time you let me know
               
What's real and going on below
                                    
But now you never show it to me, do you?
                          
And remember when I moved in you?
                
The holy dark was moving too
                              
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


            
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
                 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 


                       
Maybe there's a God above
               
And all I ever learned from love
                                        
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
                            
It's not a cry you can hear at night
                      
It's not somebody who's seen the light
                          
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

            
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
