Mood : Emo Mood

Key : E Major


My favorite part of the lyrics of this song is "Honesty is Honestly..." LoLz.... What a nice phrase to use. Anyway, just wanna ask you guys a question. How many of you guys have parents who think that Music is a waste of time and money? 

For me, I think music is the greatest gift that I've ever gotten in my life. I partially survive on it and I live to deliver the best music covers to you guys and nurture you in any possible way so that you can do better than me.

If you wish to learn this song. Please click HERE for the video. You'll need it while reading this tutorial. If you want notes, forget it. I'm the most note blind pianist you'll ever see. Most people learn from me since the beginning of this year just from here.

Introduction
RH : E G# E B,   D# G# D# B,   D# F# D# B,   E F# E B (E A E G#)
LH : Octave E, C#, B, A
Repeat


Lyin' next to you
Wishing I could disappear...aay
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air..aay
(Left Hand Octave E, C#, B, A. Right Hand plays the Melody softly and simple)

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads.
And we don't believe it.
(Left Hand Octave C#, A, E, B then C#, A, F#, B while Right Hand plays the Melody with slight chords and trills if you prefer) Pause

Tryin' to be perfect
Tryin' not to let you down...ooww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
(Chorus! Left Hand dances on broken chords and combined chords on chord E, C#, B, A. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords)

While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.
(Left Hand dances on C#, A, E, B then C#, A, F#, B while Right Hand plays the Melody slowly less chorded)

Small Bridge here (Eb B, G# F#, A G#, D# E) while Left Hand dances on C#, A, E, B

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losin' sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half.
(You may change your Left Hand style to change the mood here. Left Hand dances on E, C#, B, A which Right Hand plays the Melody)

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it.
It's an avalanche that looms above our heads
But we don't believe it.
(Left Hand Your Style C#, A, E, B then C#, A, F#, B while Right Hand plays the Melody with slight chords and trills if you prefer) Pause

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...oww
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
(Chorus! Left Hand dances on broken chords and combined chords on chord E, C#, B, A. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords)
While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.
(Left Hand dances on C#, A, E, B then C#, A, F#, B while Right Hand plays the Melody slowly less chorded)

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in.
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin.
(Bridge!! Left Hand goes from C#, B, to A and repeat. Right Hand plays Melody)

Oh yeah...
(Intro Style)

Tryin' to be perfect, tryin' not to let you down...yeah
Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now...yeah
(Chorus! Left Hand dances on broken chords and combined chords on chord E, C#, B, A. Right Hand plays the Melody with chords)

While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
The walls we built together tumblin'
I still stand here holdin' up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth.
(Left Hand dances on C#, A, E, B then C#, A, F#, B while Right Hand plays the Melody slowly less chorded)

It's easier than telling the truth...
(Combine with Intro Style)

Mood : Emo Mood

Key : Eb Major + C Minor

There are two versions of this song, one sung by Kris Allen another by Adam Lambert. Both are really fantastic. I've played the Kris Allen version because that is the version that I first heard.

This song requires a lot of your skill in following the drum beat because it's not just straight chords. It's actually played by electric guitar, synthesizer, etc. with a really special beat. If you think this is hard, wait til you play the Adam Lambert's version. Woo hoo!!

Anyway, I think the lyrics that I got here is a little screwed up. But the chords should be ok. Around there.

When you're using this Tutorial, please make use of the video for reference. Click HERE to view the video

(Octave Eb as the background starter)

Seconds hours so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait
Every moment last forever if you feel you've lost your way
What if your chances are already gone
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away
(Play the chords for the first part of intro, Cminor (as in G, C, Eb), then Ab then Eb Major, then Bb, second time same chords, C, Ab, Eb, Bb with jumping octaves, similar to the actual music)

Coz here I am — still holding on!
(Jumping Octave A then Ab)

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain (or through all your aches and pains)
Weather the hurricane
To get to that one thing
(Dance your fingers around chords Eb, Bb, C, via B, then back to Ab via Bb)

When you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you've almost gave up on your dreams
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
(Dance your fingers around chords Eb, Bb, C, via B, then back to Ab via Bb)

You can go higher
You can go deeper
There are no boundaries
Above and beneath you
B-reak every rule coz there's nothing between you
And your dreams
(Really strongly moving upwards starting from C, D, Eb, F then jump to Ab)

Every step you climb another mountain
Every breathe it's harder to believe
(Slowly Eb, then Bb, pause)

Yeah...
There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries
(Octaves on Eb, Bb, C, Ab)

With every step you climb another mountain
With every breathe it's harder to believe
Then take it by the hand and show you that you can
(Dance your fingers around chords Eb, Bb, C, via B, then back to Ab via Bb)

There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
(Octaves on Eb, Bb, C, Ab slow down, end gracefully)
