I've heard there was a secret chord

     c                 Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
     c                 Am
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
    Am              F
The minor fall, the major lift
    G                 Em        Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G-C-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

     c                 Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
     c                 Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
  F                G             c        G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
  c                   F   G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
    Am              F 
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
    G                 Em        Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G-C-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

     c                 Am
Maybe I've been here before
     c                 Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
  F                G             c        G
I used to live alone before I knew you
  c                   F           G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    Am              F
love is not a victory march
    G                 Em        Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G-C-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

     c                 Am
There was a time you'd let me know
     c                 Am
What's real and going on below
  F                G             c        G
But now you never show it to me do you?
  c              F       G
Remember when I moved in you?
    Am              F
The holy dark was moving too
    G                 Em        Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G-C-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

     c                 Am
Maybe there's a God above
     c                 Am
And all I ever learned from love
  F                G             c        G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
  c                   F           G
It's not a cry you can hear at night
    Am              F
It's not somebody who's seen the light
    G                 Em        Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    F           C-G-c
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
