[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 ya?

Well, it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composin' "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 ya

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Break]

[Verse 3]
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Break]

[Verse 4]
Maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd outdrew ya

And it's not a cry you hear at night
It's not somebody who has seen the light
It's cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
