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 and 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 

Maybe I have 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 real and going on 
below 
But now you never show it to me, 
do you? 
And 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. 
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
