verse 2 verse 5
Your faith was strong but you needed proof Maybe there’s a God above
You saw her bathing on the roof But all I’ve ever learned from love
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair It’s not a cry you can hear at night
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair It’s not somebody who has seen the light
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4) Hallelujah (x4)

verse 3 verse 6
Baby I have been here before You say I took the name in vain
I know this room, I've walked this floor I don't even know the name
I used to live alone before I knew you. But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
I've seen your flag on the marble arch There's a blaze of light in every word
Love is not a victory march It doesn't matter which you heard
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4) Hallelujah (x4)

verse 4 verse 7
There was a time when you let me know I did my best, it wasn't much
What's really going on below I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
But now you never show it to me, do you? I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And remember when I moved in you And even though it all went wrong
The holy dove was moving too I'll stand before the Lord of Song
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4) Hallelujah (x4)
