I heard there was a secret chord

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,

The minor fall, the major lift,
G E Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah...
F Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
F C G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah
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, she cut your hair,
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Baby, I?ve 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 it?s a broken hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
There was a time, you let me know
What?s really going on below,
But now you never show it to me, Do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Maybe there?s a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
And it?s not a cry you can hear at night
It?s not somebody who?s seen the light
It?s a cold and it?s a broken hallelujah...
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah
