I heard there was a
secret chord that
David played to please 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, the baffled king composing, hallelujah.

but you need a 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

so I learned to touch
I told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the
Lord of song
With nothing on my lips, but
Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah
Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Alleluia, ha
Well, maybe there's a
God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone
Who outdrew you
And that's no complaint to hear tonight
It's not some pilgrim
who's seen the light
It's a cold and broken
Hallelujah
Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Alleluia,
Alleluia
I'm going
I'm
