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, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... 

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, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before
I've know 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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... 

But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
