[Verse]
 
  C                         Am
I heard there was a secret chord
     C                    Am
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
      Am                F
The minor fall and the major lift
    G            E          Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
 
 F              Am         F           C      G    C    G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
 
[Verse]
 
      C                        Am
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
     C              Am
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
    Am                        F
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    G                  E           Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
 
    F           Am          F          C     G    C     G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
 
[Verse]
 
C               Am
Baby I've been here before
      C                        Am
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
    Am            F
But love is not a victory march
        G                E       Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
 
    F           Am          F          C     G    C      G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
 
[Verse]
 
     C                         Am
Well there was a time when you let me know
       C           Am
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
        Am              F
And the holy dark was moving too
    G               E            Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
 
    F           Am           F        C     G     C    G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
 
[Verse]
 
      C               Am
Well, maybe there's a god above
    C                Am
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
     Am                   F
It's not someone who's seen the light
       G                 E        Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
 
[Chorus]
 
   F           Am           F        C     G     C      G
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
 
[Outro]
 
    Am          C           Am        C     Am    C
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah
