I'm Phillip Phillips.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm [B] from Leesburg, Georgia and [Ab] yes that
is my real name.
I work at my [G] father's pawn shop.
It's really exciting and
sometimes it's scary but but you never [A] know what will come through the door.
[G] [C] My dad [Ab] is really proud of me for doing what I do [G] in music and he supports me
110%.
To [Gb] see him succeed [Bb] you can't even put [D] words on it because it makes
especially a parent feel so proud.
I mean you swell up as a man [Gb] you just swell up
and you're so proud that you [G] know it just makes you want to just bust.
American Idol [A] would change his life because this is what he loves.
I [D] know
this is my chance and my opportunity [A] to show the world what I have and I can't
let it slip out of my hands.
I think you're ready.
Born naked and ready.
Just put clothes on me.
[D] And in this moment I'm glad you did.
Come on Phillip.
Phillip Phillips.
Last one of the day.

All them good things in your [F] past.
[E] But when you believe in [G] things that you
don't understand and then you [Em] suffer.
[C] Superstition [D] ain't the way.
Wow.
Over the [E] top.

Right right.
Like [D] the moonlight.
You see a sight that almost [Am] stops your heart.
About [D] to scream.
But terror takes a sound [Am] before you make it.
You [D] start to freeze.
That's horror looks you right between [Am] the eye.
You're [G] out of time.
Cause [Am] this is thriller, thriller [D] night.
No one is gonna save you from the beast with 40 eyes.
[A] Thriller, thriller [G]
night.
You're fighting for your [D] life inside a killer, thriller yeah.
A chiller, thriller night.
