Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing hallelujah
[Chorus]
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 you
[Verse 4]
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 5]
Maybe I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
[Verse 6]
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
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 7]
There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
[Verse 8]
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 9]
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
[Verse 10]
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
