[Verse 1]
Now 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 ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 2]
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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Well maybe there's a God above
For me, all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a crime that you're here tonight
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 4]
Baby, I've been here before
I know this room, I walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not some victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 5]
I've done my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come here to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Outro]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
