Текст песни 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

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, she cut your hair,
G E Am
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah...
F Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah

C Am
Baby, 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 E Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah...
F Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah

C Am
There was a time, you let me know

C Am
What's really going on below,
F G C G
But now you never show it to me, do you?
C F G
But remember when I moved in you
Am F
And the holy dove was moving too
G E Am
And every breath we drew was hallelujah...
F Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah

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 E Am
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah...
F Am
Hallelujah hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah

F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah
F Am G C G
Hallelujah hallelujah
