Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

C                Am
I 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               E           Am
The baffled king composing hallelujah...
      F          Am
hallelujah hallelujah
      F          Am  G  C   G
hallelujah hallelu-u-u-jah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty in 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 hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah

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 hallelujah

There was a time, you let me know
What?s really going on below,
but now you never show it to me, do you?
but remember when I moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah...
hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah

Maybe there?s a god above
and all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew 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 hallelujah

hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah
