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, 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 she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Now maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight
It's not somebody who claims to seen the light
It's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Oh, people I've been here before
I know this room, and I've walked this floor
You seen, I used to live alone before I knew you
And 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 when you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I did my best, I know it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand right here before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
