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 [bad word] 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,
 She cut your hair
 And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, 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 you'd let me know
 What's real and going on below
 But now you never show it to me do you?
 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
 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
