C                Am
I heard there was a secret chord
      C                     Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
     F                G               C       G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
    C                   F           G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
     Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift,
     G               E           Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G  C   G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

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, she cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah

Baby, 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, you let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show it 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

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
