Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen / Jeff Buckley

	C	Am	C	Am

Well, I	heard there was a	secret chord, That	David played, and it	pleased the Lord

	F	G	C	G
But	you don't really	care for music,	do ya?

	C	F	G	Am	F
Well, it	goes like this: the	fourth, the	fifth, The	minor fall and the	major lift,

	G	E	Am
The	baffled king com	posing Halle	lujah

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof, You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

And she tied you to her kitchen chair, And she broke your throne and she cut your hair,

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Well, baby, I've been here before, I've seen this room and I've walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch, And love is not a victory march,

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Well, there was a time when you let me know - What's really going on below,

But now you never show that to me, do ya?

But remember when I moved in you, And the holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Well, maybe there is 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 somebody who's seen the light,

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
