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
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled [bad word] hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

well, there was i time when you'd let me know,
what's really going on below,
but know you never show that to me do you?
but remember when i moved in you,
and the holy dove was moving to,
and every breath we drew was halleluja?

halleluja x4

and maybe theres a god above,
but all ive ever learned from love,
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
and it's not a ccry that you hear at night
its not somebody whos seen the light,
its a cold and its a broken halleluja..
