Hallelujah – Ed Sheeran (originally by Leonard Cohen)

I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there’s a god above But all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It’s not a cry you can hear at night, It’s not somebody who’s seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You said I took the name in vain Well, I never really knew that name But if I did, what really is it to you? I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not some victory march It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
