Hallelujah

Well, 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?

Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne, she cut your hair

And from her lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Yeah, baby, I've 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

Your love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, yeah, there was a time when you let me know

What's real and going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And I remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, now, maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you

And it's not your cry that I hear at night, no

It's not someone who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
