"Hallelujah (Live)" lyrics

"Hallelujah (Live)"

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

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well, your faith was sprung, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
The beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to your kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
From your lips she drew a "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Yeah, baby, I've been here before
Walked this room, I've been this floor
You know I used to own this place before I knew ya
I've seen you from the martial arts
Yeah, love is more than a victory march
It's a cold and a broken "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

And maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
And it's not someone who's seen the light
It's a cold and a broken "Hallelujah"

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
