Hallelujah Lyrics – Shawn Mendes (Originally by Leonard Cohen)

I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do ya?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, and the major lift
The baffled king composing 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 ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, maybe there’s a god above
As for me, all I’ve ever learned from love
Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
But it’s not a crime that you’ll hear tonight
It’s not some pilgrim who claims to have seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
