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 ya?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, major lift
A 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 and moonlight overthrew ya
Well, she tied you to her kitchen chair
Broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew hallelujah
[Verse 4]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room, I've walked this floor, I
I used to live alone before I knew ya
But 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 outdrew 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
