intro:
 |C  Am|C  Am|

1st:
     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-C
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
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C-G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     F           C-G-C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
