Hallelujah

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 you?

Well it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

And she tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Yeah well baby, I've been here before

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

You know I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

And Love is not some victory march

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

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you'd let me know

What's real and going on below

Yeah but now you never show that to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

And the holy dark was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

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

It's not somebody who's seen the light

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