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 you?
It goes like this
The fourth the fifth
The minor fall
the major lift
The baffled king
composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelu...jah
Your faith was strong
but you needed proof
You saw her bathing
on the roof
Her beauty in 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 Hallelu...jah
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 Hallelu...jah
There was a time
you'd 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 Hallelu...jah
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
It's a cold and it's
a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelu...jah
