Hallelujah lyrics

[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 fall, the major lift
 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, and she cut your hair
 And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

 [Chorus]
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 [Verse 3]
 You say I took the name in vain
 I don't even know the name
 But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
 There's a blaze of light in every word
 It doesn't matter which you heard
 The holy or the broken Hallelujah



 [Chorus]
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah

 [Verse 4]
 I did my best, it was not much
 I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
 I've told the truth, I did not come 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
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah
 Hallelujah, Hallelujah



 [Additional Lyrics]
 Baby, I've been here before
 I know this room, I've walked this floor
 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

 [Additional Lyrics]
 There was a time you let me know
 What's really going on below
 But now you never show it to me, do you?
 And remember when I moved in you
 The holy dove was moving too
 And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

 [Additional Lyrics]
 Maybe there's a God above
 But all I've ever learned from love
 Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
 And it's not a cry that you hear at night
 It's not someone who's seen the light
 It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
