[Verse] B G#m B G#m - E F# B F# - B E-F# G#m E
I've heard there was a secret chord F# D#7 G#m G#m
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music - Do you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift [Intro]
The baffled King composing Hallelujah B G#m B G#m
Hallelujah (x4) [Chorus] E E G#m G#m - E E B F# - (B F#)
Your faith was strong but you needed proof [Intro]
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you - …
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus]
Maybe I have been here before ╔═══════════
I know this room, I've walked this floor Hallelujah
I used to live alone before I knew you - … Rufus
I've seen your flag on the marble arch ║ Wainwright
Love is not a victory march ╚═══════════
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
There was a time when you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now, you never show it to me - Do you
And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah [Chorus]
Maybe there's a god above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you - …
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light [Chorus]
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah (/B) (x2)
