|
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, now the major lift |
|
the baffled king composing Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Your faith was strong but you needed proof |
|
You saw her bathing on the roof |
|
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you |
|
She tied you to her kitchen chair |
|
She broke your throne and she cut your hair |
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Well maybe there's a god above |
|
As for me all, all I've ever learned from love |
|
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you |
|
But it's not a cry that you hear tonight |
|
No, it's not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light |
|
Ah no, it's a cold and it's a very broken Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Oh people, I've been here before |
|
I know this room and I've walked this floor |
|
You see I used to live alone before I knew you |
|
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch |
|
But listen, love, this is not some kind of victory march |
|
No, it's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
There was a time you let me know |
|
What's really going on below |
|
Ah but now you never show it to me, do you |
|
I remember when I moved in you |
|
the holy dove she was moving, too |
|
Every single breath that we drew was Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
I did my best, it wasn't much |
|
I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch |
|
I've told the truth, |
|
I did not come here to Coachella to fool you |
|
And even though it all went wrong |
|
I'll stand right here before the Lord of Song |
|
With nothing, nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
