I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the lord.
But you don't really care for music,
Do ya?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
The minor fall, the major lift.
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, halleluuuuujah...

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, she cut you hair,
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Halleluuuuujah...

Baby I've been here before.
I knew this room, I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.

I saw 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, Halleluuuuujah...

There was a time when 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, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Halleluuuuujah...

Maybe theres a God above,
And all I've ever learned from love,
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew 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.
Hallelujah, Halleluuuu...

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Halleluuuuujah...
