(Available in PIANO!)
Mood : Emo Mood + Angry Mood
Key : E Minor
I played this song on the same day that Adam Lambert came to Malaysia. I was busy meeting clients. I wish that I'll have a chance to cross path with him some day in near future. Anyway, this song is pretty straightforward throughout the entire song. The only challenge is the coordination of your left and right hand because of the way that the accompaniment is structured.

Introduction
You'll see this pattern in almost the entire song. Make use of your Octaves to add depth.
Left Hand
E E E, E F# G G, G G G A, low B B B, B F# D D D
then Right Hand comes in with the song. Please use your ears on the right hand. If you want to learn how to pick up the melody with your ear, please read my tutorials from the beginning. With time, you'll understand.
So I got my boots on, got the right 'mount of leather
And I'm doing me up with a black color liner
And I'm workin' my strut but I know it don't matter
All we need in this world is some love
There's a thin line 'tween the dark side and the light side baby tonight
It's a struggle gotta rumble trying to find it
(You'll need to watch the MV to get the feeling of this part. Imagine you're walking in the middle of an enchanted forest with a little anger and emotions. Left Hand remains the same pattern as the intro. Right Hand plays the Melody strongly but keep it simple)
But if I had you, that would be the only thing that i'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, the money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
If I had you
You you you you you
If I had you
(Left Hand dances on chords C E D B, just freestyle. Right Hand plays the melody rich in chords)
From New York to LA getting high rock n' rollin
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning
Girls in stripper heels, boys rolling in Maseratis
What they need in this world is some love
There's a thin line tween a wild time and a flat line baby tonight
It's a struggle gotta rumble tryin' to find it
(Back to the first part style. Left Hand remains the same pattern as the intro. Right Hand plays the Melody strongly but keep it simple)
But if I had you, that would be the only thing that I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, the money fame and fortune never could compete
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
If I had you
You you you you you
If I had
(Left Hand dances on chords C E D B, just freestyle. Right Hand plays the melody rich in chords)
The flashing of the lights
It might feel so good but I've got you stuck on my mind, yeah
The fashion and the stage it might get me high
But it don't mean a thing tonight
(Bridge! Left Hand plays according to the electric guitar background tempo on D D E E C C. Right Hand plays the melody emotionally as if you're Adam, screaming in Rock Style)
That would be the only thing that I'd ever need
If I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete
(Left Hand plays Octave silently on chords C E D B. Slow down. Right Hand plays simple melody. Prepare to increase momentum)
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy
If I had you
You you you you you
(Left Hand dances on chords C E D B, just freestyle. Right Hand plays the melody rich in chords)
If I had you
That would be the only thing that I'd ever need
Yeah if I had you, the money fame and fortune never could compete
(never could compete with you)
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy (it'd be ecstasy with you)
If I had you
You you you you you
If I had you
