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?

When it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, and 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

And 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, Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

I use to live alone before I knew you

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

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've ever learned from love

was how to shoot someone who outdrew you

But it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who has seen the light

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
