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?
It goes like this,
the fourth,
the fifth,
the minor fall,
The left, 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 a kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Maybe I've been here before I know
this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew
you I saw you fly from the marble arch
Love is not a victory march It's a cold and a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
All I ever learned
from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
