Hallelujah

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 and the major lift

The baffled king composes "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 ya

Well, she tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips, she drew a Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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 ya

But I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Our love is not a victory march

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah, oh

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
