‘Someone  Like  You’Chorus  -­‐  Normal:

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"

by  Adele

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
