Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well 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, 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 and the

moonlight overthrew ya

She tied you to her kitchen chair

And she broke your throne

and she cut your hair

And from your lips she

drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

But baby I've been here before

I've seen this room and

I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live

alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag

on the marble arch

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well there was a time

when you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show that to me do ya

But remember when I moved in you

And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry

that you hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
