C C                      Am Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
C C Am Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F F G G C C G G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C C F F G G
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am Am F F
The minor fall and the major lift
G G Em7 Em7 Am Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah

C C Am Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C C Am Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F F G G C C G G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C C F F G G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am Am F F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G G Em7 Em7 Am Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah

C C Am Am
Baby I've been here before
C C Am Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
F F G G C C G G
I used to live alone before I knew you.
C C F F G G
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Am Am F F
But love is not a victory march
G G Em7 Em7 Am Am
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah

C C Am Am
There was a time you let me know
C C Am Am
What's really going on below,
F F G G C C G G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
C C F F G G
I remember when I moved in you,
Am Am F F
And the holy dove was moving too,
G G Em7 Em7 Am Am
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah.

F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah

C C Am Am
Now, maybe there's a God above,
C C Am Am
As for me, all I ever learned from love
F F G G C C G G
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.
C C F F G G
It's no complaint you hear tonight,
Am Am F F
It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
G G Em7 Em7 Am Am
It's a cold and it's a very lonely Hallelujah.

F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C G G C C G G
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-uujah
