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?

Now it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, 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 that Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Well, baby I've been here before

Ive 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

Our 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?

And remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Well maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight (at my eye?)
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light (groom?)

it's a cold no! it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
