Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composin' Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathin' on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
Maybe I've been here before, I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
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
[Verse 6]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 7]
Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
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
[Verse 8]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
