Hallelujah

Words & music by leonard cohen Ive heard there was a secret chord That david played and it pleased the lord But you dont 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 Hallelujah 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 a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah Baby Ive been here before, I know this room Ive walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you Ive seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah Hallelujah There was a time you let me know Whats really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? I remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe theres a God above, all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you And its not a cry you can hear at night Its not somebody whos seen the light Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
