C Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C | F G |
It goes like this, The fourth, the fifth,
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift,
G E/G# Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof,
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof.
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C | F G |
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
Am F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair,
G E/G# Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Maybe I have been here before,
C Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor,
F G C G
I used to live alone before I knew you
C | F G |
I've seen your flag on the marble arch.
Am F
Love is not a victory march,
G E/G# Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
There was a time you let me know
C Am
What's real and going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
C | F G |
And remember when I moved in you?
Am F
The holy dove was moving too,
G E/G# Am
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
C Am
Maybe there's a god above
C Am
But all I ever learned from love
F G C G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you,
C | F G |
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,
Am F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
G E/G# Am
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F Am
Hallelujah Hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah Hallelujah
