Verse:
C C Am Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
C C Am Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
F F G G C C G G
But you don't really care for music, do you?

Pre-Chorus:
C C F F G G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am Am F F
The minor fall, the major lift
G G Em Em Am Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Chorus:
F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Verse:
C C Am Am
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
C C Am Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F F G G C C G G
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

Pre-Chorus:
C C
She tied you
F F G G
To a kitchen chair
Am Am
She broke your throne,
F F
she cut your hair
G G Em Em Am Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Chorus:
F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Verse:

Maybe I've been here before
C C Am Am
I know this room, I've walked this floor
F F G G C C G G
I used to live alone before I knew you

Pre-Chorus:
C C F F G G
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Am Am F F
love is not a victory march
G G Em Em Am Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Chorus:
F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C-G G-C C-C C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Verse:
C C Am Am
There was a time you'd let me know
C C Am Am
What's real and going on below
F F G G C C G G
But now you never show it to me do you?

Pre-Chorus:
C C F F G G
Remember when I moved in you?
Am Am F F
The holy dark was moving too
G G Em Em Am Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Chorus:
F F Am Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
F F C C-G G-C C-C C
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Verse:
C C Am Am
Maybe there's a God above
C C Am Am
And all I ever learned from love
F F G G C C G G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

Pre-Chorus:

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
