G                   Em    
I heard there was a secret chord   
G                        Em  
that David played and it pleased the Lord,  
    C  2x            (D)               G     (D)  
But you don't really care for music do you.  
G                     C         D       
It goes like this the fourth the fifth,                
    Em                C     D      
the minor fall and the major lift  
     D            Bm            Em  
The baffled king composing hallelujah  
     C         Em          C        G-D-G  
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja  
  
G                             Em  
Your faith was strong but you needed proof  
G                   Em  
You saw her bathing on the roof  
    C                            G  
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her             
G                C       D       
She tied you to a kitchen chair  
    Em                         C        D        
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair  
     D                  Bm           Em  
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C         G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
  
G                  Em  
You say I took the name in vain  
G            Em  
I don't even know the name  
    C                                G  
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?  
G                        C        D      
There's a blaze of light in every word  
   Em             C         D        
It doesn't matter which you heard                      
     D          Bm          Em  
The holy or the broken Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C          G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
  
G                 Em  
Baby I've beeen here before.   
G                     Em  
I know this room I've walked this floor.  
  C                           G  
I used to live alone before I knew you.  
G                          C      D                    
I've seen your flag on the marble arch  
    Em            C       D  
but love is not a victory march   
        D                 Bm       Em  
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C         G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
  
G                    Em  
There was a time you let me know  
G                  Em  
whats really going on below  
    C                           G  
but now you never show it to me do you?  
G                 C        D  
I remember when I moved in you                         
        Em            C      D  
and the holy dove was moving too  
     D               Bm           Em  
and every breath we drew was Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C         G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
  
G                   Em  
Now maybe there's a god above  
G              Em  
but all I ever learned from love   
   C                              G  
is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you  
G                         C      D                     
And it's no complaint you hear tonight   
         Em                     C        D  
and it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light  
        D               Bm         Em  
it's a cold and it's a lonely Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C         G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah  
  
G                Em  
I did my best it wasn't much.  
G                    Em  
I couldn't feel so I learned to touch.  
     C                                G  
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you.  
G                  C        D  
And even though it all went wrong,                     
     Em               C       D  
I'll stand before the Lord of Song   
     D              Bm             Em  
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah  
     C         Em            C         G-D-G   
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
