Well I've heard there was a secret chord   That David played, and he 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 in the moonlight overthrew you   And she tied you to her kitchen chair   And she broke your throne, and she cut your hair   And from your lips you drew the hallelujah   Hallelujah, hallelujah  Hallelujah, hallelujah     Well 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 you   And I've seen your flag on the marble arch   And love is not a victory march   It's a cold, 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 you?   I 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 is a God above   But all I've ever learned from love   Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you   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,  Hallelujah, hallelujah   Hallelujah, hallelujah  Hallelujah, hallelujah   Hallelujah, hallelujah  Hallelujah.
