Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you dont really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well baby, I've been here before
I know this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march, no
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 you to me, do you?
But 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
Now we know, there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody, who outdrew ya
But it's not a cry, that you're hearing tonight
Or a lie, about how I've seen the light
It's a cold, and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
