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?
It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king Composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room I've walked this floor
I used to live alone Before I knew you
I've seen 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, Hallelu--jah
There was a time 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
Your holy dark Was moving too
And every breath we drew Was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever Learned from love
Was how to shoot At someone Who outdrew you
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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah
