Hallelujah

I heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the Lord

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

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and 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

Baby, I've been here before

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

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

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah
