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 chai
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

its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
