Well 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 composing hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
|
Well 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 her kitchen chair
|
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
|
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
|
Well baby I've been here before
|
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
|
I used to live alone before I knew ya
|
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
|
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
|
Well there was a time when you let me know
|
What's really going on below
|
But now you never show that to me do you?
|
And remember when I moved in you?
|
And the holy dove was moving too
|
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
|
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
Hallelujah
|
|
Well maybe there's a god above
|
But all I've ever learned from love
|
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
|
And it's not a 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
|
|
Hallelujah [x12]
