Hallelujah (Live)

I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you dont really care for music, do you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor falls, the major lifts

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now maybe there's a God above

As for me, all I ever learned from love

Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

But it's not a cry that you hear tonight

It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light, no

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Oh people, I've been here before

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

You see, I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But listen, love, love is not some kind of victory march, no

Its a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let know

What's really going on below

But now, now you never even show it to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove, she was moving too

And every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I've done my best, I know it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch

I've told the truth, I didnt come here to London just to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand right here before the Lord of song

With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, oh, Hallelujah

Thanks so much, friends, what a great honor to play for you
