[Verse 1]

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"

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 2]

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, she cut your hair

And from your lips, she drew the "Hallelujah"

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 3]

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"

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 4]

There was a time you 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"

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 5]

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"

[Outro]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
