|
I 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 |
|
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 a kitchen chair |
|
She broke your throne, she cut your hair |
|
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Maybe 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 |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
There was a time 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 dark was moving too |
|
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Maybe there's a God above |
|
And all I ever learned from love |
|
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you |
|
And it's not a cry you can 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 |
