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 and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah...x4
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...x4
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
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah...x4
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really what's it to you
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah ...x4
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...x4
