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 third, the major fifth
The baffled king composing Hallelujah


Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Your faith was strong and
you needed proof
And
you saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
And
she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And
from your lips she drew a Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


Baby
I've been here before
I've seen this place and I've fucked this floor, u know
I
used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag
On the marble arch

You know
love is not some victory march
It's a
cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


There was a time when you let me know
What was really going on below
Now you never show that to me, do you?
Remember when
I moved in you
And the Holy Ghost
Was moving too

And
every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love

Was
how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry that you hear at night
Or somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu, Hallelujah
