C5                      A5
I've heard there was a secret chord 
     C5                     A5
That David played, and It pleased the Lord 
    F5                 G5               C5      G5
But you don't really care For music, do you? 


    C5                   F5           G5
It goes like this: The fourth, the fifth 
     A5             F5     G5
The minor fall, the major lift 
     G5             E5         A5
The baffled king Composing Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5 G5 C5 G5
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


      C5                         A5
Your faith was strong But you needed proof 
     C5                A5
You saw her bathing On the roof 
     F5              G5               C5     G5
Her beauty and the Moonlight overthrew you 


     C5             F5        G5
She tied you to a kitchen chair 
     A5                       F5        G5
She broke your throne And she cut your hair 
      G5                E5          A5
And from your lips She drew the Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5 G5 C5 G5
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


 C5               A5
Maybe I've been here before 
    C5                  A5
I know this room I've walked this floor 
  F5              G5              C5      G5
I used to live alone Before I knew you 
      C5                     F5     G5
I've seen your flag On the marble arch 
 A5            F5       G5
Love is not a victory march 
        G5              E5        A5
It's a cold and It's a broken Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5 G5 C5 G5
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


  C5                   A5
There was a time You let me know 
  C5                 A5
What's really going on below 
     F5              G5             C5      G5
But now you never show It to me, do you? 
   C5               F5    G5
I remember when I moved in, you 
      A5            F5      G5
Your holy dark Was moving too 
      G5             E5          A5
And every breath we drew Was Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5 G5 C5 G5
Hallelujah, Hallelu--jah 


 C5               A5
Maybe there's a God above 
    C5           A5
And all I ever Learned from love 
     F5               G5               C5      G5
Was how to shoot At someone Who outdrew you 
             C5          F5       G5
It's not a cry You can hear at night 
          A5            F5        G5
It's not somebody Who's seen the light 
        G5              E5        A5
It's a cold and It's a broken Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5   G5 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 


      F5           A5
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
      F5           C5 G5 C5
Hallelujah, Hallelu?jah
