Hallelujah

Album: Extended Play (2008)

  • I heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the lord
    But you don't really care for music, do ya?
    Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall and 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 and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you to her kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

    Maybe there's a God above
    But all I've ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
    And it's not a cry that you hear at night
    It's not someone who's seen the light
    It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
    (Hallelujah) hallelujah
