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 
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 
Baby 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 
There was a time you let me know 
What’s really going on below 
But now you never show it to me, do you? 
I remember when I moved in you 
And the holy dove was moving too 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah 
Hallelujah 
Maybe there’s a God above, all I ever learned from love 
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew 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
