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, hallelujah



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, she cut your hair

and from your lips she drew the hallelujah



hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah



baby, 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, hallelujah



there was a time you let me know

what's real and going on below

but now you never show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you,

The holy dark was moving too

and every breath we drew was Hallelujah



hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah



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, hallelujah
