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 ya

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


Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya
But I saw 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


Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen in the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
