Chords for David Cook - Hello - American Idol 7 - Top 16

All right, welcome [F#m] back to American Idol.
If you're enjoying this show, [F#] remember,
you can keep a piece of it by downloading performances
of your [E] favorite contestants exclusively on [F#] iTunes.
What you didn't see during the break
was massive panic on stage to hook all of this up.
Does it work, [E] David?
_ _ _ [F#] Get set first.
Take a look at this.
My most embarrassing [C] moment?
When I was a little kid, I sang in a talent show.
I did the song [G] Sandman by America.
And about halfway through the song,
I realized I didn't know the second verse.
And rather than [C] try to fake my way through it,
I stood there [G] like a statue.
So I did it on that [C] stage,
and here's to hoping that I don't do it on this stage.
♪ [Am] I've been alone [G] with you inside [C] my [G] mind ♪ _
[Am] ♪ In my dreams [G] I kissed you there [C] a thousand times ♪
[Am] ♪ I sometimes see you [G] pass outside [C] my door ♪
♪ [G] _ [Am] Hello, _ [G] _ [C] is it me you're [A] looking for?
♪
[Dm] ♪ I can see it in your [G] eyes, [C] I can see it in your [F] smile [A#] ♪
♪ You're all I've [E] ever wanted, and my arms are open wide [Dm] ♪
♪ Cause you know just what [G] to say [C] ♪
♪ And you know just [F] what to do [A#] ♪
♪ And I wanna [E] tell you so much, [Am] I love you ♪
[Dm] ♪ Cause I wonder [G] where you are, [C] and I wonder what [F] you do ♪
♪ [A#] Are you somewhere [E] feeling lonely?
♪
♪ Oh, is someone loving you?
♪
♪ [Dm] Tell me how to [G] win your heart, [C] cause I haven't [F] got a clue [A#] _ _ [E] _ ♪
[Am] ♪ Hello, [G] _ [C] is it me you're looking [A] for?
♪ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ All right, so check it out, though.
You know what I love about that?
Man, you did like, you made a slightly emo version
out of a very pop, extremely pop Lionel Richie song.
I mean, great arrangement.
I think that could be a single and be a hit, dude.
I thought it was brilliant.
Thank you so much.
Very nice, very nice.
Yes, yes.
David, I totally love when you come on that stage,
cause I know that I'm in for a great surprise
and great talent, and that was fabulous.
I mean, it would be a hit today,
and it should be a hit today.
You change things up and it's perfect choices.
You make perfect choices.
Thank you.
I believe that you're gonna be a great shining star. _ _ _
_ _ David, that was a very brave thing to do,
and I loved it.
Ah.
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ Good for you.
You know what, David?
I like people who go out there and take a few risks,
and it was unpredictable.
I thought it worked.
I think Lionel Richie will be very happy when he hears that.
It was a terrific version,
and I really, really hope we're gonna see you next week.
We are, we are.
_ _ [D#]
Lionel was thinking when he saw [F#] David coming out
with a guitar, electric guitar, that that's all.
I was with Lionel Richie in a supermarket on Sunday.
Oh, please.
What?
Were you buying vegetables?
I was in Whole Foods.
I had carrots, and he was buying cereal.
[D#] It's true story.
Oh, nice.
And we don't wanna know what happened
after your shopping trip.
