Hallelujah Lyrics By Matthew Schuler

    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

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    your faith was strong but you needed proof
    you saw her bathing on the roof
    her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
    she tied you to a kitchen chair
    she broke your throne and she cut your hair
    and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    baby i have been here before
    i know this room i’ve walked this floor
    i used to live alone before i knew you
    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

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    there was a time when you let me know
    what’s really going on below
    but now you never show it to me do you
    and remember when i moved in you
    the holy dove was moving too
    and every breath we drew was hallelujah

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    maybe there’s a god above
    but all i’ve ever learned from love
    was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
    it’s not a cry you can hear at night
    it’s not somebody who has seen the light
    it’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    you say i took the name in vain
    i don’t even know the name
    but if i did well really what’s it to you
    there’s a blaze of light in every word
    it doesn’t matter which you heard
    the holy or the broken hallelujah

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah

    i did my best it wasn’t much
    i couldn’t feel so i tried to touch
    i’ve told the truth i didn’t come to fool you
    and even though it all went wrong
    i’ll stand before the lord of song
    with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah hallelujah
    hallelujah
