Hallelujah

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...x4

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...x4

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

and love is not a victory march

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

Hallelujah...x4

You say I took the name in vain

I don't even know the name

But if I did, well really what's it to you

There's a blaze of light in every word

It doesn't matter which you heard

The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah ...x4

Well Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was 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 cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah...x4
