Song lyrics
Well 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

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 

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof 
You saw her bathing on the roof 
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you 

And she tied you to her kitchen chair 
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair 
And from your lips you drew the hallelujah 

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 

Well baby I've been here before 
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know I used to live alone before I knew you

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch 
And 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

But remember when I moved in you 
And the Holy Dove was moving too 
And every breath we drew was hallelujah 

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 

Maybe there is a God above 
But all I've ever learned from love 
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you 

And it's not a cry that you 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 

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 
Hallelujah

I totally agree with all of you. I heard this song on the O.C.. It's a great song. It does fit any mood. And what's really kewl is that the instrumental would be great even if it didn't have any lyrics.

ok for all the uneducated, while jeff buckley does a great version, its not his song either. its his cover. and how typical of this commercial world, that such a song becomes recognised only as a song on a tv show

Although Jeff Buckley didn't make the song, his version is the best. I don't like Leonard Cohen..
