Hallelujah

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 com-posing Halle-lujah

Halle-lujah, Halle-lujah Halle-lujah, Halle -lu-jah

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

It’s a cold and It’s a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time You let me know

What’s really going on below

But now you never show It to me, do you?

I remember when I moved in, you

Your 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

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
