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?

When 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 in the moonlight overthrew you,
and she tied you to a kitchen chair.

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair,
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.


Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.


Maybe there's a God above,
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.

It's not a cry you can hear at night.
It's not someone who has seen the light.
It's a cold and broken Hallelujah.


Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.


Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.


Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
