‘Someone Like You’Chorus -‐ Normal:
C x2, G x2, Am x2, F x2
Never mind, I'll find someone like you

Don't forget me, I beg I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes
it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it
hurts instead"

Verse -‐ Broken Chords: C x4, G x4, Am x4, F x4
I heard that you're settled down That you found a girl and you're married now. I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you. !
Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
Pre-‐Chorus -‐ Broken
Chords:
G x2, Am x2, F x4
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd
be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Broken Chords: the notes in the chord are played separately
Chords too easy? Try performing from notation:
Where the notes are on the 5 lines (stave) tell us where to play on the keyboard:
The types of notes tell us how long each note is
e.g. for a minim, we hold the note on the keyboard down for 2 beats
