Introduction: C Am C Am
C Am
I heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the lord
F G C G
But you don' t really care for music, do you?
C F G
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall and the major lift
G E7 Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
!--Chorus--
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
!--Verse 2--
C Am
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G E7 Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
!--Chorus--
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Baby, I' ve been here before
C Am
I' ve seen this room and I' ve walked this floor
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C F G
I' ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Am F
But love is not a victory march
G E7 Am
It' s a cold and it' s a broken hallelujah
!--Chorus--

Well, there was a time when you let me know
C Am
What' s really going on below
F G C G
But now you never show that to me do you
C F G
But remember when I moved in you
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too
G E7 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
!--Chorus--
F Am F C G C Am C Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

C Am
Well, maybe there' s a god above
C Am
But all I' ve ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C F G
It' s not a cry that you hear at night
Am F
It' s not somebody who' s seen the light
G E7 Am
It' s a cold and it' s a broken hallelujah
