Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleases the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, and the major lift
The baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahYou 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 the kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It's true that 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 broken HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
