Hallelujah

Now, 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?

And it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor chord and 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 in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to the kitchen chair

She broke her throne, and she cut your hair

And from her lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before

I know this room, and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

And 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

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

And it's not a cry that you hear at night

It's not somebody who sees the light

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah, oh, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah

Hallelu-, hallelujah

Oh, hallelujah, oh, hallelujah

Hallelujah
