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 

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 

O baby, I have been here before 
I’ve seen 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 
But Love is not a victory march 
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah 

There was a time when you let me know 
What's really going on below 
But now you never show that to me, do you? 
And remember when I moved in you 
When the holy ghost was moving too 
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 

Maybe there's a God above 
But all that I ever learned from love 
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. 
And it's not a cry that you hear at night 
And It's not somebody who's seen the light 
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
