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 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 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,
I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love's not some kind of victory march
It's a chord and it's a broken Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a chord and
it's a broken Hallelujah
