I heard there was a secret chord
⠀ | G Em |
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
⠀ | C D7 | | G D7 |
But you don't really care for music, Do you?
⠀ | G C D7 |
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
⠀ | Em C |
The minor fall, the major lift,
⠀ | D7 B7 | | Em |
The baffled king composing hallelujah...
⠀ | C | | Em |
Hallelujah hallelujah
⠀ | C | | G D7 | | G |
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah
⠀ | G Em |
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
⠀ | G Em |
You saw her bathing on the roof
⠀ | C D7 | | G D7 |
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
⠀ | G C D7 |
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
⠀ | Em C |
She broke your throne, she cut your hair,
⠀ | D7 B7 | | Em |
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...
⠀ | C | | Em |
Hallelujah hallelujah
⠀ | C | | G D7 | | G |
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah
Baby, 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...
⠀ | C | | Em |
Hallelujah hallelujah
⠀ | C | | G D7 | | G |
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah
There was a time, you let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show it to me, Do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove 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.
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...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
