Hallelujah

I've 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, the major lift.
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.

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 kitchen chair.
She broke your throne, she cut your hair.
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.

Maybe I have 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.
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?
And remember when I moved in you, the 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 someone who outdrew you.
And it's not a cry you can hear night,
it's not somebody who's seen the light.
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.
