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.

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 throne, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.

Maybe I’ve 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
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah.

There was a time you’d let me know what’s real and going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
Remember when I moved in you? the holy dark was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah.

Maybe there’s a God above and all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
Its not a cry you can hear at nigh,
its not somebody who’s seen the light,
its a cold and its a broken hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah..
