Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now, 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?
And it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And then she tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew hallelujah
[Verse 4]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
You say I took the name in vain
But I don't even know the name
But if I did, well, really what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which one you heard
The holy or the broken hallelujah
[Verse 6]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu', hallelujah
[Verse 7]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu', 'lujah
