Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah Election Week Cold Open Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 ya?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 2]
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 ya
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

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Verse 3]
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu—
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

[Outro]
I'm not giving up, and neither should you
