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
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Baby i've been here before
I 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...
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
But remember when i moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot 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...
