  • I've loved Alicia Keys growing up and was inspired by her live performance with John Mayer of "If I ain't got you" and "Gravity". Hope you enjoy my acoustic take on the song and as usual let me know what you think! Your comments make my day :)

    The lyrics
    Some people live for the fortune
    Some people live just for the fame
    Some people live for the power, yeah
    Some people live just to play the game
    Some people think
    That the physical things
    Define what's within
    And I've been there before
    That life's a bore
    So full of the superficial
    Some people want it all
    But I don't want nothing at all
    If it ain't you, baby
    If I ain't got you, baby
    Some people want diamond rings
    Some just want everything
    But everything means nothing
    If I ain't got you, yeah
    Some people search for a fountain
    Promises forever young
    Some people need three dozen roses
    And that's the only way to prove you love them
    Hand me the world on a silver platter
    And what good would it be
    With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me
    Some people want it all
    But I don't want nothing at all
    If it ain't you, baby
    If I ain't got you, baby
    Some people want diamond rings
    Some just want everything
    But everything means nothing
    If I ain't got you, you, you
    Some people want it all
    But I don't want nothing at all
    If it ain't you, baby
    If I ain't got you, baby
    Some people want diamond rings
    Some just want everything
    But everything means nothing
    If I ain't got you, yeah
    If I ain't got you with me, baby, oh, ooh
    Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
    If I ain't got you with me, baby

Your voice is so pure and always perfectly in key! Keep challenging your guitar abilities! I'd love to hear you try Neon by John Mayer (my fav as well)
