| 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, she cut your hair
|
| And from your lips, she drew the "Hallelujah"
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Maybe I have been here before
|
| I know this room, I've walked this floor
|
| I used to live alone before I knew you
|
| 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 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 dark was moving, too
|
| And every breath we drew was "Hallelujah"
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Maybe there's a God above
|
| And all I ever learned from love
|
| Was how to shoot at someone 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, Hallelujah
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
