_ Every [E] _ time [Em] I look in [B] the mirror
_ _ [Em]
Danny is naturally [Bm] gifted vocal wise.
He picked a tough [Em] song.
The main thing is just to get that scream [E] at the end because everybody [F#]
is going to be waiting for it.
You know, [D] you pick that song, you're going to do [A] it.
Danny!
[F#] _ _ _ _ I feel like with this song [B] that I can go for bigger things than I've [E] ever done before.
It's really going to depend on the moment when he gets up there to sing it in front of the judges.
He could go either way.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] Every time [Em] I look in [F#] the mirror
[Em] _
_ _ All these [Bm] _ lines [Em] on my face [F#] getting clearer
_ [Em] _
_ _ The [Bm] _ _ past [Em] is _ _ [F#] gone
_ [Bm] _ _
[Em] _ It went [Bm] _ by _
[Em] like dust [F#] in the _ dawn
[C#] _ Isn't that [B] the way _
[C#m] _ Everybody's got [C] their dues and [B] life's a _ _ pain _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Sing with [D] me, sing for the [C] years
Sing for [D] a life, but sing another year
[E] _
Sing it with me [D] if it's just for today
[C#] Maybe tomorrow [Am] _ I'll take it [B] away
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Dream on, dream [C] on, dream [D] on, dream
Dream until you feel the [Em] dream come true _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Dream [B] on, dream [C] on, dream on, [D]
dream
Until you [E] feel the dream come [D] _ [Em] true _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ Dream [B] on, dream [C] on, dream [D] on, dream
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yo, _ _ _ _ _ _ alright so
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ feel you man _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So listen, listen, listen, listen
You know, once again, I know this is not your genre either, this is not really what you do,
but I'll give you one thing, I mean, it was alright for me, it wasn't like perfect or that great,
but I'll give you one thing, I'll give you [C#] an A plus [F#] for a valiant effort,
because to hit that high note you had like three notes jumping off at [G] once,
so I mean, I know it was a little hard, I mean, it's [C#] just not what you do, you know what I mean?
_ Danny, I took [Dm] the swagger comment [N] and, you know, adding more edge into your performance,
and those are all good things, we told you to do that, but I think you took it [D] a little too far.
I _ [A#] don't _ [F#] _ see you on this type of song, I see you more early, [N] Aerosmith, crying crazy,
but I will say that I like to see growth and I like to see risks, and I like to see more edge,
and I saw that tonight, was it perfect?
No, but I commend you for taking chances,
because rock and roll is about being bold and going for it. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Danny, I know that this was a tricky genre for you, and [F#] I told you, you know,
you gotta [B] just go [E] with the song that you're drawn to, I don't know if this was the right song for you,
but again, I am a huge fan of yours, a huge fan of yours, [N] how many of you are Danny Gopi fans? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ Choice of song, [Em] but I give you [C#] an A plus [N] plus for going for it.
Simon Cowell?
Well, you know, I agree pretty much with what everybody said, but, you know, the last note,
I mean, it was like watching a horror movie, I mean, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ like [Fm] the scene in Friday the 13th,
I mean, it was just like this [B] scream, and I think it was_ Hi. _ _ _
Hello.
No, you don't.
[E] Yes, I do.
But, you know, it was actually a [C#] little bit over the top, and where I think, [D] I agree, by the way,
where I think, _ _ Adam, it kind of worked with you, [Gm] it didn't work so much,
[C#] _ _ _ _ [B] but I still think you're gonna be safe tonight, though.
[E] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I need to say a horror film. _
I kind of_
I gotta go back and listen to it, that's all I gotta say, you know,
because I could be right, what I heard up here, I didn't think it was as bad as they said it was,
but I respect what you had to say.
_ _ I gave it a_ _ _
_ _ _ But, yo, I went out_
_ _ I didn't want to do a song in my safety zone.
It's whatever.
I guess I'll try better next time.
