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, 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 her kitchen chair
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've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before, I knew you

And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
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

Oh, maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah (sing hallelujah), hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
