Intro
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 you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing, hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
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, hallelu - jah
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 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, hallelu - jah
Verse 4
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
Verse 5
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
Verse 6
You say I took the name in vain
Though I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken hallelujah
Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
Verse 7
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Outro
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
