[Verse 1]
             
Now I've heard

             
 there was a s


ecret chord
             
That David pla

            
yed, and it pl

eased the Lord
             
But you don't 

             
really care fo

             
r music, do yo

   
u?
             
It goes like t

             
his, the fourt

       
h, the fifth
            
The minor fall

      
, the major li

ft
             
The baffled ki

             
ng composing, 

     
hallelujah


[Chorus]
             
Hallelujah, ha

            
llelujah, hall

[Verse 2]
             
Your faith was

              
 strong, but y

   
ou needed proo

f
             
You saw her ba

      
thing on the r

oof
             
Her beauty and

             
 the moonlight

             
 overthrew ya
             
She tied you t

           
o a kitchen ch

air
            
She broke your

              
 throne, and s

   
he cut your ha

ir
             
And from your 

             
lips she drew 

         
the hallelujah


[Chorus]
             
Hallelujah, ha

            
llelujah, hall

n here before
             
I know this ro

         
om, I've walke

d this floor
             
I used to live

             
 alone before 

          
I knew you
             
I've seen your

             
 flag on the m

      
arble arch
            
Love is not a 


victory march
             
It's a cold, a

             
nd it's a brok

[Verse 4]
             
There was a ti

            
me when you le

t me know
             
What's really

But now you ne

 me, do you?
             
And remember w

             
hen I moved in

The holy dove

[Verse 5]
             
Maybe there's 

  
a God above
             
And all I ever

 
 learned from 

love
             
Was how to sho

             
ot at someone 

             
who outdrew yo

  
u
             
It's not a cry

             
 you can hear 

   
at night
            
It's not someb

            
ody who has se

en the light

[Verse 6]
             
You say I took

     
 the name in v

ain
             
Though I don't

      
 even know the

 name
             
But if I did, 

             
well really, w

             
hat's it to ya

  
?
             
There's a blaz

              
e of light in 

     
every word
            
It doesn't mat
