Hallelujah

[Verse 1]

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?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 2]

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 chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]

Baby, I've been here before

I know this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But love is not a victory march

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

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 4]

There was a time when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 5]

Maybe there's a God above

But all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

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

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelu

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
