Chords for Joshua Ledet - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" - American Idol

_ Steven Mnuchin, Song Selection, what is the best advice to a contestant that is new to this when it comes to picking the right song?
You know for me, I mean you saw what DeAndre did, Jennifer's right, I mean he's standing out so far against some of the [F#] others.
The duets are [C#] nice and cute too, but [B] the problem is you gotta [Em] sing the I don't know what out of whatever the [G#] song is.
I keep hearing people [E] talk about the songs, the songs, the songs.
Hey, if you sing it great, [F#m] it won't even [B] matter.
Right, we need some powerhouse right now.
We need some powerhouse, we need [E] some juice in here right now.
Who's running?
You know what I [F#] want to know?
Who's gotta have it?
Ryan, do you have to have it?
[E] _
Subtlety, Randy Jackson.
_ The race is on to the [F#] finale and everyone is [Gm] truly feeling the pressure, especially Joshua.
_ _ I can't [C] keep anymore.
_ _ Last week, [F] my emotions came out on stage because I was missing my family.
It's just tough being [A] all the way here by myself.
I'm the youngest [E] child and I'm [A] spoiled a little bit.
_ Josh always got away with everything.
He's [E] definitely the baby of the [A] family.
They spoiled me [E] a little too much because I don't want to [A] do nothing but sing.
We love you Josh.
_ This week I'm [F#] singing If [B] You Don't Know Me by [F#] Simply [B] Red.
If you don't know me.
He obviously [D#] has incredible vocal [D#m] gymnastics.
I mean it's just insane what he can do [C] with his voice.
If you don't know me.
[D] _ _ [D#] _
[Em] _ Sometimes I think it can [B] be too much. _
[D] _ What do you think of the key change?
I think it showcases his unbelievable thing that he does [G] right there.
We've got to get back into the [Bm] song in the right way.
[Em] This arrangement is kind of challenging.
It kind [G] of wasn't going in the right direction.
It needs to be just simpler when it comes back into the hook.
Jimmy told [G#] them to just drop the band out [F] and then come in [C] after me and [B] I think it's genius.
If you [Em] don't know _ _ _ me.
The song that he [F] chose is really, really good for him.
Once the break was put in the song, I think it worked a lot better.
Yeah.
It was so comfortable and it just felt so it was the right thing to do.
I know what I'm [C] going to do outside the show that night.
I'm going to sell Holy Ghost [Em] T-shirts.
We're going to make a fortune.
The minute you hit that note, I get [F] everybody on the street.
Five bucks a pizza.
Every note of that song he sang, I [Fm] felt it.
So I'm with him on it 100%.
I just think he's [C] there and he stays. _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ If you don't know me.
_ [F#] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
You [E] will get _ _ _ _ _ me.
Ooh.
_ _ _ [A#] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ All the [D#m] things.
_ That we've been _ [B] [E] through.
_ _ You should understand me.
_ Like [B] I understand _ you.
_ _ Girl, I know the [D#m] difference.
_ _ Between right and [E] wrong.
_ _ I ain't going to do nothing.
_ To upset our happy home.
[D] _ _ _ _ _
Don't get so [G] excited.
_ When I come home a little late at night.
[Em] _ Because we only act like children.
_ [E] When we argue, [F#] fuss and fight.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
If you don't [F#] know me by now. _ _ _
You [E] will never know me.
_ _ [C#] _ _ Just [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ get yourself together.
[G] _ _ _ _ We'll say goodbye.
[Em] _ What good is a love affair.
_ _ [E] If we can't see eye [G] to eye.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ [Em] _ _ Baby, _ _ you [F] will never, never know me.
_ _ [D] _ Hey.
_ [G#] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Baby, _ _ _ baby.
You, [Dm] _ [F] you, _ you.
_ _ _ Don't be, [G#] never know me by [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ now. _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Crazy, crazy. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I can see and you shall receive.
That's what they said, right? _ _ _ _
_ Lord.
_ _ _ Ask and you shall receive.
That's what they said.
We asked for a powerhouse performance.
And that's what we got.
_ _ Wow. _ _
_ _ _ Joshua, you know what I love so much?
In the beginning you came out.
And you held back.
And I can feel you holding back.
But you were also so comfortable.
It was such a beautiful thing to watch.
[G#] Because I was like, oh, he's going to let loose on us in a minute.
_ _ [B]
And you did.
[N] And it was _ spectacular. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Over the top, man.
Outstanding.
Joshua, how can someone sing like you at your age?
It's unreal.
So good.
You know, what a perfect, beautiful song.
And the choir just [F#] nestled you.
They sing the first, [G#] they sing the chorus.
And then you just sat right into it.
And, again, used your natural [N] voice.
And it wasn't too much over the top.
And it was way over the top.
So it was just perfect.
Thank you.
You're great, man.
You're a great singer. _
_ _ Yo.
_ Yo. _
Listen.
It's very rare on this show.
You see a stand-up at the end.
It's very rare that I want to stand up from beginning to end.
That's how good that performance was.
It was so mature, dude.
You were so in your zone.
And it's what I said to Ryan.
I don't care what the song is.
And that's a great song.
But you sang it, dude.
That's what it's about.
You know what I think?
Jennifer, Steven.
_ I _ _ think we found someone tonight who's got to have it, Ryan.
_ Joshua's got to have it in America.
[F#] _ _ Joshua LeBrecht. _ _
Great job.
I keep waiting for you to say somebody's in it to win it.
No.
Do you got to have it?
Do you got to have it, Ryan?
Speaking of the [G#] Olympics.
We got to have it, man.
We [F#] got to have it.
I mean, you took control of that song.
You own that song.
You were feeling that song.
How emotionally draining is this process week to week?
_ [N] I mean, it's very tough.
I mean, working seven days a week.
_ And just getting songs that you [F#] never heard before and trying to learn them.
And just adapting to them and making them mean so much to you when I don't know anything about the song.
Because I'm only 19 years old, so I can't say I had any love problems.
You could have fooled us.
But just trying to help somebody else.
[G] _ _ Well done.
Joshua LeBrecht.
