Lyrics Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

Intro:
C Am C Am C Am C Am
C Am
I've heard there was a secret chord
C Am
That David played and it pleased the Lord
F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you
C F G
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
Am F
The minor fall, the major lift
G Em Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Chorus:
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
C Am
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
C Am
You saw her bathing on the roof
F G C G
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
C F G
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Am F
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
G Em Am
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
F Am F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
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, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu - jah
