Intro :
I've heard there wa s a secret chord
That D avid played, and it pleased the Lord
But y ou don't reall y care for mus ic, do y ou ?
It goes like this t he fourth, the fifth
The m inor fall, th e major lift
The b affled king com posing Hall elujah
[Refrain :]
Hallel ujah, Hall elujah
Hallel ujah, Halle luuu ujah
Your faith was strong but y ou needed proof
You s aw her bathing on the roof
Her be auty and the mo onlight overt hrew you
She t ied you to a kitchen chair
She b roke your throne, she cut your hair
And f rom your lips she drew the Hal lelujah
[Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you ?
Remember when I moved in you ?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[Refrain]
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
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
[Refrain] (2x)
