[Verse 3]
CC/BAm Maybe I've been here before CC/BAm I know this room Ive walked this floor FGCG I used to live alone before I knew you CFG I've seen your flag on the marble arch AmF But Love is not a victory march GEAm It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah FAmFCGCG Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
