Hallelujah

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 and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, 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 and she cut your hair

And from your lips he drew the hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe 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

Love is not a victory march

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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, 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?

Remember when I moved in you

The holy dark was moving too

And every breath we drew is hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Maybe there's a god above

And 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've seen the light

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

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
