I've [C]heard there was a [Ami]secret chord
That [C]David played, and it [Ami]pleased the Lord
But [F]you don't really ca[G]re for music, [C]do you?[G]
It [C]goes like this, the [F]fourth, the [G]fifth
The [Ami]minor fall and the ma[F]jor lift
The ba[G]ffled king comp[Emi]osing Hallel[Ami]ujah
Hallel[F]ujah, Halle[Ami]lujah, Hallel[F]ujah, Ha[C]llel[G]ujah[C] [Ami] [C] [Ami]

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 and 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'd 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
