lyrics

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
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
the 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

Baby we've been here before
we've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
And 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 maybe there's a God above
but all I've ever learnt from love
is how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not someone who has seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah
