Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heard there was a secret chord
David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
To baffle 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 ya
While she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and cut your hair and
From your lips she drew hallelujah
[Verse 4]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 5]
Baby, I've been here before
Seen this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I saw your flag on the marble arch
Our 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
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's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Verse 8]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 9]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
