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?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
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 in 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.
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
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.
There was a time when you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
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.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
