I've 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

Mayby 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 real and 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
