I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?


Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before, I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?


But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath, we drew was 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?


And it's not a cry, that you 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
