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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Des Fm
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Des f Des G# D# G# D#

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 in 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 somebody
Who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
