Well, I've heard there was a sacred chord 
David played and it pleased 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 Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof 
You saw her bathing low on the roof 
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you. 

And she tied you to her kitchen chair 
She broke your throne 
She cut your hair 
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well, baby I have been here before 
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor 
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you. 

And 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 yeah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well there was a time when you let me know 
What's really going on below 
But now you never show that to me, do you ? 

And remember when I moved in you 
The holy dove was moving too 
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah oh 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Well, maybe there is a God above 
But all I've ever learned from love 
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you, oh 

And it's not a cry that you hear at night 
it's not somebody who's seen the light 
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah, oh 

Hallelujah, oh Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
