C# A#m
I've heard there was a secret chord
C# A#m
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F# G# C# G#
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C# F# G#
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
A#m F#
The minor fall, and the major lift
G# F7 A#m
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
F# Am#
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F# C# G# C#
Hallelujah, Halleluuuuuuuuujah

C# A#m
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
C# A#m
You saw her bathing on the roof
F# G# C# G#
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C# F# G#
She tied you to her kitchen chair
A#m F#
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
G# F7 A#m
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Repeat the chorus
C# A#m
Baby, I've been here before
C# A#m
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
F# G# C# G#
I used to live alone before I knew you
C# F# G#
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
A#m F#
But love is not a victory march
G# F7 A#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Repeat the chorus
C# A#m
Well there was a time when you let me know
C# A#m
What's really going on below
F# G# C# G#
But now you never show that to me, do you?
C# F# G#
But remember when I moved in you
A#m F#
And the holy dove was moving too
G# F7 A#m
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Repeat the chorus
C# A#m
Well, maybe there's a God above
C# A#m
But all I've ever learned from love
F# G# C# G#
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
C# F# G#
It's not a cry that you hear at night
A#m F#
It's not somebody who's seen the light
G# F7 A#m
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Repeat the chorus multiple times
