The baffled king composing Hallelujah
[Refrão]Em G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Em Bm D G
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof, You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and 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
Chorus
Well, baby, I've been here before. I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch, and love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Chorus
Well, there was a time when you'd let me know, what's really going on below,
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you, and the Holy Ghost was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Chorus
Well, maybe there is a God above, but all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
It's not a cry that you hear at night, and it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
