Chords for Michael Grimm- America's Got Talent Audition "You Don't Know Me"

[D] _ _ [A] _ [F#] _ [C] Welcome back to America's Got Talent.
As the [Gm] sun sets here in LA and the [C] holding room empties out,
many Los Angelinos are leaving with their dreams in hand.
But for this next act, a chance at chasing that dream
is all that he's ever wanted.
I know you.
[D] I am Michael Grant.
[C] _
I play music in Las Vegas, in little restaurants,
[F#m] bars, whatever [C] place will take me, you know?
When I was, you know, younger, my sister and I,
[Dm] we were [G#] very poor and welfare.
I saw that it wasn't [N] really good living conditions for us.
And so they were going to take us and put us in a home.
[Am] But my grandmother stopped that.
[G] I've never.
[F] She [G#] lives now in a little trailer [Am] up in Picayune, Mississippi.
And [G] she wants to [C] get out of there.
What little [F] _ _ [C] money I made. _
_ _ [F] _ [G] _ [Am] What little.
[Em] To get them in a situation where they don't have to worry.
[F] _ [C] I would love for this to be my time.
I would love for this to take me somewhere [Am] further.
_ [C] And _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] tell me about yourself.
Where are you from?
I am from Mississippi, from Waveland, Mississippi.
OK.
What does America's Got Talent mean to you,
winning something like this?
What does it mean to you?

They raised me.
And they lost everything in Hurricane Katrina.
And it would just be nice for me to do something for them.
_ It's _ _ always touching when somebody wants to share.
Share success.
So I wish you the best of [E] luck.

[F#m] _ [Bm] It's with [E] love for you.
_ _ [C#m] _ Afraid and shy.
[G#m] _
I let my chance [F#] go by.
The chance that you [B] might love me too.
Oh, [E] you give your hand [G#m] to me.
[E] And you say goodbye.
[D] [A] Now I watched you walk away.
That's a superstar's voice right there.
Beside that lucky [E] guy.
No, you're not [C#] alone.
