I've heard there was a secret chord
David played, and it pleased the Lord
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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
But I see a flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
