I on ly want ed to have fun,
learn ing to fly, learn ing to run.
I let my heart de cide the way it’s like when I was young.
Deep down I must have al ways known
that this would be in or ev i ta ble.
To earn my stripes, I’d have to pay
in and bare my soul.
(Mm,
mm,
mm,
mm.)
I know I’m not the on ly one
who re grets the things they’ve done.
Some times I just feel it’s on ly me
who can’t stand the re flec tion they that they see.
I wish I could live a lit tle more,
look up to the sky, not just the floor.
I feel like my life is flash ing by,
and all I can do is watch and cry.
I miss the air, I miss my friends, I miss my moth er; I miss it when
life was a par ty to be thrown,
but that was a mil lion years a go.
When I walk a round all of the streets
where I grew up and found my feet,
I they can’t look me in the eye, it’s like they’re scared of me.
I try to think of things to say,
that like a joke in or a mem o ry.
But they don’t rec og nize me now, in the light of day.

A mil lion years a go.
This page shows “Million Years Ago” by Adele in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of E at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
