Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen

​ I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the lord But you don't really care for music, do you? ​ Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you ​ She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you ​ I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....

Well there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do you ​ But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Well, maybe there's a god above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you ​ It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
