Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen

1.
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord,
but you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth,
the minor fall, the major lift,
the baffled king composing hallelujah.
Ref1.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
2.
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof,
you saw her bathing on the roof.
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.
She tied you to a kitchen chair,
she broke your throne, and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah.
Reff1.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
3.
Maybe I've been here before,
I know this room, I've walked this floor,
I used to live alone before I knew you.
And 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.
Reff.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
4.
Well, maybe there’s a God above,
but all I’ve ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.
And 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.
Ref2.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-jah.
