Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and a major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Verse 4]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
Maybe there's God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not someone who has seen the light
It's cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Verse 6]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
