i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do i
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled [bad word] hallelujah

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

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