    C                Am
I heard there was a secret chord
      C                     Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
     F                G               C   G
But you donʼt 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...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

    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 in 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           Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

    C                Am
Baby, Iʼve been here before,
    C                Am
I know this room, Iʼve walked this floor,
     F                G            C G
I used to live alone before I knew you.
    C                   F           G
Iʼve seen your flag on the marble arch
     Am              F
Love is not a victory march
     G               E           Am
Itʼs a cold and itʼs a broken hallelujah...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

    C                Am
There was a time, you let me know
    C                Am
Whatʼs really going on below,
     F                G             C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
    C                   F     G
But remember when I moved in you
     Am              F
And the holy dove was moving too
     G               E           Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

    C                Am
Maybe thereʼs 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
And itʼs not a cry you can hear at night
     Am              F
Itʼs not somebody whoʼs seen the light
     G               E           Am
Itʼs a cold and itʼs a broken hallelujah...
      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

      F          Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G C G
Hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah
