Lyrics

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? (Ooh)
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth (ooh)
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing "Hallelujah" (ooh)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
(Dum-dum-dum-ha, da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
(Da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha, da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
Well, your faith was strong (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
But you needed proof (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
You saw her bathing (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
On the roof (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
Her beauty (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
And the moonlight overthrew ya (da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha, ooh)
She tied you to the kitchen chair (ah)
She broke your throne and she cut your hair (ah, ah, ah-ah)
And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
(Dum-dum-dum-ha, da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
(Da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha, da-da-dum-dum-dum-ha)
Well, baby, I've been here before (da-da, ooh, da-da)
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor (da-da, da-da)
I used to live alone before I knew ya (ah, da-da, da-da, ooh)
I've seen your flag on a marble arch (ah)
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Well, maybe there's a God above
And all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who out-drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night (ooh)
It's not someone who has seen the light (ooh)
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah (hallelujah), hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah (whoa-whoa)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah, hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hm, hm, hm
