I 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 [bad word] hallelujah...
               Hallelujah hallelujah
                   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
