I’ve heard the

          
re was a secre

t chord
             
That David pla

           
yed and it ple

ased the Lord
             
But you don’t 

             
really care fo

             
r music do you

   
?
             
It goes like t

             
his, the fourt

[Verse 2]
             
Your faith was

              
 strong but yo

  
u needed proof
             
You saw her ba

      
thing on the r

oof
             
Her beauty in 

             
the moonlight 

               
overthrew you
             
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

Hallelujah, ha

Maybe I’ve bee

  
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 an

            
d it’s a broke

[Verse 4]
             
There was a ti

            
me when you le

t me know
             
What’s really 

      
going on below
             
But now you ne

             
ver show it to

           
 me, do you?
             
And remember w

             
hen I moved in

 
 you
            
The Holy Dove 

    
was moving too
             
And every brea

            
th we drew was

      
 hallelujah

[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
             
And it’s not a

             
 cry you can h

       
ear at night
            
It’s not someb

          
ody who’s seen

 the light
             
It’s a cold an
