i heard
that you'll settle down
that you've 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
it ain't like you to hold back
or hide from the light
i hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
but i couldn't stay away, i couldn't fight it
i'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over
never mind
i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you too
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
you'd know
how the time flies
only yesterday
was the time of our lives
we were born and raised
in a summer haze
bound by the surprise
of our glory days
i hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
but i couldn't stay away, i couldn't fight it
i'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
that for me it isn't over yet
never mind
i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you too
don't forget me
i beg
i remember you said
sometimes it lasts in love
but sometimes it hurts instead
nothing compares
no worries, okays, regrets and mistakes
they're memories made
who would have known
how bittersweet this would taste
never mind
i'll find someone like you
i wish nothing but the best for you too
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

I went down 5 half steps for plucking. (D - A - Bm - G - Em)
And plucked in this order: C-E-A-E or strings 2-3-4-3 (1 being the closest string to your chest.)
Repeat 2x / chord.

I LOVE how this actually sounds like the song! I played it using +3 half steps, and it sounded just like the original

I did one down strum until the pre-chorus then did DD strumming until the chorus then did DDU on the chorus, when if went back to the 2nd verse did 1 down strum again and then the same things DD for pre chorus and DDU for the chorus. at the bridge I did DD and then went to one strum for the last chorus at the end. Ik it's a lot to remember but just think 1 2 3 1 2 3 2 1 for d dd ddu d dd ddu dd d for the strum ming, it's a lot but sounds cool in my opinion

Down, down, up, down, down, up. This works really well but you can change the speed of your strums to match the different parts of the song. ;)

La version originale est en La : 1 ton au dessus (ou +2 demi-tons). (The original version is in A, so 1 higher tone, or +2 half-tones)

I use D, U, chunk, U, D, U, U, chunk, U, D, (U) with the up strum at the end being the chord change.

Adele plays in A, so you can play like this :
A E F#m D
(or if you think E chord too hard to play with your little fingers, try E7, easier and sound good enough)
A E F#m D
(or if you think E chord too hard to play with your little fingers, try E7, easier and sound good enough)

About this song: Someone Like You
Most of 21's lyrics refer to Adele working through the ending of a relationship including this song. She recalled to The Daily Telegraph; "When I did 'Someone Like You' live on Jools Holland, I got so upset wondering and hoping and wishing that my ex would be watching it, I went back to my dressing room and sobbed. Making a record is like standing in the middle of Trafalgar Square naked, you let everyone see your good bits and bad bits. I don't know what possesses me to do that, but I'm not good at anything else." (Source Someone Like You Songfacts).
