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?

Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

And your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

And 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

It's true that 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
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
