Hallelujah Leonard Cohen C Am I've 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 It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth Am F The minor fall the major lift G E Am The baffled king composing Hallelujah F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G 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 her kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby I've been here before I've seen 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 There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
