          G                 C
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
     G                    C
That David played, and he pleased the Lord 
    C                                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               Bm          Em
The baffled king composing hallelujah 
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah 

          G                         C
Well your faith was strong, but you needed proof 
    G               C
You saw her bathing on the roof 
    C                           G     D
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you 
        G               C       D
And she tied you to her kitchen chair 
        Em                         C
And she broke your throne, and she cut your hair 
    D                  Bm            Em
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah 
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah 

     G              C
Well baby I've been here before 
     G                       C
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor 
            C                           G    D            
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you 
         G                     C      D
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch 
    Em            C
And love is not a victory march 
       D               Bm          Em
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah 
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah 

           G                   C
Well there was a time when you let me know 
       G            C
What's really going on below 
    C                              G       D
But now you never show that to me, do you? 
    G             C        D
I remember when I moved in you 
        Em            C
And the Holy Dove was moving too
    D               Bm            Em
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D G
Hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah 

G                C
Maybe there is a God above 
    G             C
But all I've ever learned from love 
    C                            G        D
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you 
         G                  C       D
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
     Em                 C 
It's not somebody who's seen the light
       D               Bm          Em 
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah 
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D
Hallelujah, hallelu,
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G  D
Hallelujah, hallelu,
     C           Em
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     C           G   D  Em  C  Em  C  Em
Hallelujah, hallelu-                     -jah,
     C  D G
Hallelu-u-jah.
