Hallelujah - The Academy Allstars

Well 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

Well it goes like this

The fourth the fifth

Minor chord 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

And she tied you

To her kitchen chair

Broke your throne and cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before

I know this room and I've walked this floor

You know I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love's not some kind of victory march

It's a cold and 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

But I remember when I moved in you

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

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah
