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            E/G#        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 and 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            E/G#       Am        
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.       

F           Am       
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       
F            C   G   C   G    
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       

C            Am        
Maybe I have 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            E/G#           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 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 |       
And remember when I moved in you?       
    Am            F       
The holy dove was moving too,       
     G            E/G#           Am        
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.       

F           Am       
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       
F            Am   G   C  G    
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       

C               Am       
Maybe there's a god above       
C               Am       
But all I ever learned from love       
    F               G               C        G    
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you,       
         C                | F      G |       
And it's not a cry you can hear at night,       
     Am                 F        
It's not somebody who's seen the light       
     G            E/G#           Am        
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.      


F           Am       
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       
F            Am   G          
Hallelujah, Hallelujah       
F           Am        
Hallelujah Hallelujah        
F            C   G   C   G     
Hallelujah Hallelujah
