I heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the lord,
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth,
The minor fall and 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 and the moonlight overthrew ya,
She tied you to her kitchen chair,
She broke your throne and she cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Maybe there's a god above,
But all I've ever learned from love,
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya,
And it's not a cry that you hear at night,
It's not someone who has seen the light,
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
