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 |
|
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth |
|
the minor fall and the major lift |
|
the baffled king composing hallelujah |
|
hallelujah... |
|
well 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... |
|
baby i've been here before |
|
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor |
|
i used to live alone before i knew you |
|
i've seen your flag on the marble arch |
|
but love is not a victory march |
|
it's a cold and it's a broken 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 |
|
but remember when i moved in you |
|
and the holy dove was moving too |
|
and every breath we drew was hallelujah |
|
hallelujah... |
|
well, maybe there's a god above |
|
but all i've ever learned from love |
|
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you |
|
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... |
