I heard there was a secret chord, that David played, and it pleased the Lord.
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift,
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof,
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya.?
Well, she tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, and cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
Baby, I?ve been here before, I?ve seen this room and I?ve walked the floor.
I used to live alone before I knew ya.'
But 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.
Verse
There was a time when you let me know, what?s really going on below.
But now you never show it to me, do ya'?
Remember when I moved in you, the holy dark was moving too,
And every breath we drew, hallelujah!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
Verse
Maybe there's a god above, but all I?ve ever learned from love,
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya,
But it's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not someone who?s seen the light,
It's a cold and broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
