Hallelujah

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?
And it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Baby I´ve 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 {x4}
There was a time you let me know
What´s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Maybe there´s a God above, all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And 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
Hallelujah {x8}
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don´t really care for music, do you?
And it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Baby I´ve 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 {x4}
There was a time you let me know
What´s really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
I remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah {x4}
Maybe there´s a God above, all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who out drew you
And 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
Hallelujah {x8}
