Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen
[G] I've heard there was a [Em] secret chord
That [G] David played and it [Em] pleased the Lord
But [C] you don't really [D] care for music, do you? [G] [D]
[G] It goes like this the [C] fourth, the [D] fifth
The [Em] minor fall, the [C] major lift
The [D] baffled king com[Bm]posing Halle[Em]lujah
[D]Halle[C]lujah, halle[G]lujah, halle[C]lujah, halle[G]lu[D][G]jah
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 I've been here before
I know this room I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's 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 there's a God above
All I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
