Hallelujah

Intro: G | Em | G | Em

     G                 Em
I've heard there was a secret chord
     G                   Em
That David played and it pleased the Lord,
    C                D              G       D
But you don't really care for music Do you? 
   G                   C           D
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.

Chorus:
          C           Em
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          C           G  D G   D
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof.
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,
I used to live alone before I knew you,
I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
Love is not a vict'ry march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Chorus

There was a time when you let me know
What's really 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 ev'ry 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.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
   
Chorus:
          C           Em
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          C           G D
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          C           Em
     Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
          C           G  D G
     Hallelujah, Hallelu-u-jah.
