Lyrics
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, (and) the major lift
T 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 and the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to (a) her kitchen chair
Well, she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Baby, I’ve been here before.
(I know) IЂ™ve seen this room. And I’ve walked this floor.
(You know) I used to live alone before I knew you.
And I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch,
But love is not a victory march,
I it’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Well, 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?
(I) But remember when I moved in you,
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
(Now) Well maybe there’s a God above
But all I ever learned from love
(Is) was how to shoot (someone) somebody who outdrew you.
And it’s (no complaint) not a cry that you hear tonight,
And it’s not somebody who’s seen the light —
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
