This is the main riff of the song. It was one of the first songs I learned ever on the piano and it sparked my interest after hearing it on the radio.

Hey thanks this is a really fun song to play. But I wish I knew the rest. Do you think you could show the rest of it. Watch David Archuleta on you tube playing it. I dont know if he added stuff or if that is how the song is supposed to be played. It sounds really good. Thanks sooooo much. I could’nt do this without you!
thanks i love this song. it would be great if u finished it
it would be great it during your tutorials the names of the notes ur playing would pop up on top of the screen!
ok soo keep going
your amazing
but…..
you make it easy
because you have
the keys letters
on it. my keyboard doesnt
and maybe try saying how many
is inbetween..not octive..not roman
numerals either 8 or eight or how ever
many…and your going too fast
and your hand is usually in the way
i know your trying
and yes it is tricky
but this perticular
song isnt good
for a tutorial
but thanks!

In the verse, the left hand is different. It’s E and B together, then F# and C# together and then E and B together twice.
he did finsish it people. it’s basically just that over and over again in the song if you actually listened to it.
anywhoo, you are so amazing! thanks so much!!
