I heard there was a secret chord That David played too 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
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, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's no complaint you hear tonight It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light It's a cold and broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
