G Emi
I've heard there was a secret chord
G Emi
That David played and it pleased the Lord
C D G D
But you don't really care for music do you?
G C D
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Emi C D
The minor fall, the major lift
H7 Emi
The baffled King composing Hallelujah
C Emi
R: Hallelujah, hallelujah
C G D G Emi G Emi G
Hallelujah, hallelu jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in 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
R:
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
R:
There was a time when you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
R:
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And 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
R: 2x
