Hallelujah

I'd 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, the major lift
The baffled king
Composes 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 ya

Well, she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips
You 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

Well, I've seen your flag on the marble arch, and
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 ya?

But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Now, maybe there's a God above
But all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
