Chords

[Intro] C Am C Am [Verse 1]
     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
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G C C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 2]
      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 in the moonlight overthrew you

    C             F       G
She tied you to a kitchen chair

    Am                         F
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

    G                  Em            Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G C C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 3]
C               Am
Maybe I’ve been here before

C                 Am
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor

F                    G          C      G
I used to live alone before I knew you

     C                     F      G
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch

Am            F
Love is not a victory march

       G               Em          Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G C C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 4]
C                    Am
There was a time when you let me know

C               Am
What’s real and going on below

F                 G              C      G
But now you never show it to me, do you?

      C             F        G
And remember when I moved in you

    Am            F
The Holy Dark was moving too

    G               Em            Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G C C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 5]
C               Am
Maybe there’s a God above

C               Am
And all I ever learned from love

F                   G            C          G
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

         C                 F       G
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night

     Am                 F
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light

       G               Em          Am
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
[Chorus]
     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           Am
Hallelujah, hallelujah

     F           C G C
Hallelujah, hallelujah
