intro:
 |F  Dm|F  Dm|

1st:
     F                 Dm 
I�ve heard there was a secret chord
     F                   Dm
That David played and it pleased the Lord
    B                C             F        C
But you don�t really care for music do you?

   F                   B           C
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    Dm              B
The minor fall, the major lift
    C                 Am        Dm
The baffled King composing Hallelujah

     B           Dm
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     B           F-C-F
Hallelujah, hallelujah

2nd:
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, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

3rd:
Maybe 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

5th:
There was a time when you let me know
What�s real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

6th:
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
