G E7 Am​
The baffled king composing hallelujah​
​
[Chorus]​
F Am F C G C G​
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....​
​
[Verse 2]​
C Am​
Well 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 her kitchen chair​
Am F​
She broke your throne and she cut your hair​
G E7 Am​
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah​
​
[Chorus]​
F Am F C G C G​
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....​
​
[Verse 3]​
C Am​
Baby I've been here before​
C Am​
I've seen this room and 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​
But love is not a victory march​
G E7 Am​
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah​
​
[Chorus]​
F Am F C G C G​
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....​
​
[Verse 4]​
C Am​
Well there was a time when you let me know​

C Am​
What's really going on below​
F G C G​
But now you never show that to me do you​
C F G​
But remember when I moved in you​
Am F​
And the holy dove was moving too​
G E7 Am​
And every breath we drew was hallelujah​
​
[Chorus]​
F Am F C G C G​
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....​
​
[Verse 5]​
C Am​
Well, maybe there's a god above​
C Am​
But all I've ever learned from love​
F G C G​
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you​
C F G​
It's not a cry that you hear at night​
Am F​
It's not somebody who's seen the light​
G E7 Am​
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah​
​
[Outro]​
F Am F C G C G​
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....​
