Hallelujah

well i heard there was a secret chord
that david played, and it pleased the lord
but you dont really care for music, do ya?

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

well 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 ive been here before
ive seen this room and ive walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew ya

ive seen your flag on the marble arch
but ove is not a victory march
its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah

well there was a time when you let me know
whats really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you?

but remember when i moved in you?
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah

well maybe theres a god above
but all ive ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody whod outdrew you

its not a cry that you hear at night
its not somebody whos seen the light
its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah

hallelujah

hallelujah
hallelujah
