Hallelujah

Now I’ve 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 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 a 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 know 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 is not a victory march

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Well maybe there’s a god above

But all I’ve ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you

And it’s not a cry that you hear at night

It’s not somebody who’s seen the light

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Baby 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’ve seen your flag on the marble arch

But love is not a victory march

It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Well there was a time when you let me know

What’s 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



I’ve done my best, 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
