[Intro]
C G
[Verse 1]
C Am
Now 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 Am
The baffled king composing, hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 2]
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 ya
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
G E Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 3]
C Am
Baby, 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 E Am
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 4]
C Am
There was a time when you let me know
C Am
What's really 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 Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 5]
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 has seen the light
G E Am
It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 6]
C Am
You say I took the name in vain
C Am
Though I don't even know the name
F G C G
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
C F G
There's a blaze of light in every word
Am F
It doesn't matter which you heard
G E Am
The holy or the broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu - jah
[Verse 7]
C Am
I did my best, it wasn't much
C Am
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
F G C G
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
C F G
And even though it all went wrong
Am F
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
G E Am
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
[Outro]
