Lyrics

well i heard there was a secret chord
david played, and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
and it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall, 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 ya
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah

baby i've been here before
and i've seen this room and i walked this floor
you know I used to live alone before I knew ya
and 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 that you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me, do you
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

well, maybe there is a god above
but all i have ever learned from love
is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
man it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who has seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah
hallelujah, hallelujah
