G         Em
i heard there was a secret chord
G            Em
that david played and it pleased the lord
C          D       G   D
but you don’t really care for music, do you
G             C      D
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Em           C
the minor fall and the major lift
D          B7     Em
the baffled king composing hallelujah

C     Em     C    G  D   G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

Em - G - Em

G                Em
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
G           Em
you saw her bathing on the roof
C           D      G    D
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
G          C     D
she tied you to her kitchen chair
Em             C
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
D            B7     Em
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
   C     Em     C    G  D   G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

Em - G - Em

G        Em
baby i’ve been here before
G              Em
i’ve seen this room and i’ve walked this floor
C        D       G   D
i used to live alone before i knew you
G             C    D
i’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Em         C
but love is not a victory march
D           B7     Em
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
   C     Em     C    G  D   G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,

G             Em
well there was a time when you let me know
G          Em
what’s really going on below
C         D         G  D
but now you never show that to me do you
G          C     D
but remember when i moved in you
Em          C
and the holy dove was moving too
D          B7     Em
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

G          Em
well, maybe there’s a god above
G          Em
but all i’ve ever learned from love
C        D       G      D
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
G           C       D
it’s not a cry that you hear at night
Em            C
it’s not somebody who’s seen the light
D           B7      Em
it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

C     Em     C    G  D   G
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-jah,
