G chordG Em chordEm
I heard there was a secret chord
G chordG Em chordEm
that David played and it pleased the Lord

the minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing hallelujah
C chordC Em chordEm C chordC G chordG D chordD G chordG D chordD

[Verse 2]

G chordG Em chordEm
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
G chordG Em chordEm
You saw her bathing on the roof
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
G chordG C chordC D chordD
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Em chordEm C chordC
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
D chordD B chordB Em chordEm
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
C chordC Em chordEm C chordC G chordG D chordD G chordG D chordD
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Baby, I've been here before
G chordG Em chordEm
I know this room Ive walked this floor
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
I used to live alone before I knew you
G chordG C chordC D chordD
I've seen your flag on the marble arch

But Love is not a victory march

It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

[Verse 4]

G chordG Em chordEm
There was a time you let me know
G chordG Em chordEm
What's real and going on below
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
But now you never show it to me do you?
G chordG C chordC D chordD
I remember when I moved in you
Em chordEm C chordC
The holy dark was moving too
D chordD B chordB Em chordEm
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
C chordC Em chordEm C chordC G chordG D chordD G chordG D chordD
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah


[Verse 5]

G chordG Em chordEm
Maybe there’s a God above
G chordG Em chordEm
But all I ever learned from love
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
G chordG C chordC D chordD
Its not the cry that you hear at night
Em chordEm C chordC
It's not someone who's seen the light
D chordD B chordB Em chordEm
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
C chordC Em chordEm C chordC G chordG D chordD G chordG D chordD
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah


[Verse 6]

G chordG Em chordEm
You say I took the name in vain
G chordG Em chordEm
But I don't even know the name
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
But if I did, well really, what's it to ya?
G chordG C chordC D chordD
There's a blaze of light in every word
Em chordEm C chordC
It doesn't matter which you heard
D chordD B chordB Em chordEm
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
C chordC Em chordEm C chordC G chordG D chordD G chordG D chordD
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah


[Verse 7]

G chordG Em chordEm
I did my best, it wasn't much
G chordG Em chordEm
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
C chordC D chordD G chordG D chordD
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
G chordG C chordC D chordD
And even though it all went wrong
Em chordEm C chordC
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
D chordD B chordB Em chordEm
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah


[Outro]
