I heard there was a secret chord   that david played and it pleased the lord   but you don't really care for music, do you   well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth   the minor fall and the major lift   the baffled king composing hallelujah     hallelujah...     well 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 her kitchen chair   she broke your throne and she cut your hair   and from your lips she drew the hallelujah     hallelujah...     baby i've been here before   i've seen this room and i've walked this floor   i used to live alone before i knew you   i've seen your flag on the marble arch   but love is not a victory march   it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah     hallelujah...     well there was a time when you let me know   what's really going on below   but now you never show that to me do you   but remember when i moved in you   and the holy dove was moving too   and every breath we drew was hallelujah     well, maybe there's a god above   but all i've ever learned from love   was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you   it's not a cry that you hear at night   it's not somebody who's seen the light   it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah     hallelujah...
