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 ya?

Well it goes like this, the forth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya

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 know this room and I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya

And 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 when you let me know

What's really going on below

And now you never show it to me, do ya?

And remember, when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath, we drew was hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah.
