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
