Well 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?

Well 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 in 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

Maybe there's a God above
As for me all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot someone who outdrew you

But it's not a cry that you hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light
No, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

People, I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor (you see)
I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not some kind of a victory march, no
It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

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?

But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove, she was moving too
And every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

I've done 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 before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
