C                 Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
     C                    Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
     F               G               C           G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
   C            
It goes like this
    F            G
The fourth, the fifth
    Am              F   
The minor fall, the major lift
    G            E              Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah


  F              Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
  F              C   G   C 
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah     (Chords are the same for each of the verses)



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, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Its not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
