Prod. by John Cale

[Verse 1]
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 ya?
Well, 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 and she cut your hair
And from your lips shе drew the Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallеlujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
Well, baby I’ve 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]
I know that there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 5]
I did my best
It’s not enough
I couldn’t feel so I tried to touch
I told the truth
I didn’t come to fool you
Despite my choices, right and wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
