Hallelujah – Bon Jovi (originally by Leonard Cohen)
By
Well I heard there was a secret chord David played to please the lord But you don’t really care for music, do ya Well it goes like this the fourth the fifth Minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 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 the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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 And it’s not your flag on that marble arch, no Love is not a victory march It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know What’s really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? Well remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well now maybe there’s a God above But all I ever learnt from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you And it’s not a cry that you hear at night It’s not someone who’s seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
