Lyrics

I

that you’re

set tled down.

That you

found a girl and you’re

mar ried now.

I heard that your (C#m)dreams came true.

Guess she (F#m)gave you things

I did n’t (D)give to you.

(A)Old friend,

why are you so shy?

Ain’t like (F#m)you to hold back,

or (D)hide from the light.

I (E)hate to turn up out of the (F#m7)blue un in vit ed but I could n’t stay a way.

I could n’t fight it.

I had (E)hoped you’d see my face and (F#m7)that you’d be re mind ed that for (D)me it is n’t (E)o ver.

Nev er mind I’ll find some one like (F#m)you.

I wish (A)noth ing but the best

for (F#m)you

(D)two.

Don’t for (A)get me, I beg.

I’ll re (F#m)mem ber you (D)said some times it (A)lasts and loves but (E)some times it hurts in (F#m)stead.

Some times it (A)lasts and loves but (E)some times it hurts in (F#m)stead.

You know how the

time flies, on ly

yes ter day was the (D)time of our lives.

We were (A)born and raised

in a sum mer haze.

Bound (F#m)by the sur prise

of our (D)glo ry days.

I (E)hate to turn up out of the (F#m7)blue un in vit ed but I could n’t stay a way.

I could n’t fight it.

I had (E)hoped you’d see my face and (F#m7)that you’d be re mind ed that for (D)me it is n’t (E)o ver.

Nev er mind I’ll find some one like (F#m)you.

(E)Noth ing com pares, no wor ries or cares, re (F#m)grets and mis takes, they are mem o ries made.

(D5)Who would have known how

bit ter (Bm)sweet

(A)this would (D)taste?

Nev er mind I’ll find some one like (F#m)you.

I wish (A)noth ing but the best

for (F#m)you.

About “Someone Like You

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Someone Like You" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key A, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Someone Like You" by Adele in?
The backing track is in A at 68 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Someone Like You" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Someone Like You"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Someone Like You", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Someone Like You" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Someone Like You"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Someone Like You"?
"Someone Like You" was originally performed by Adele. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Adele are available?
Other accompaniments by Adele: "Chasing Pavements", "Don't You Remember", "Hello". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of A, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Someone Like You" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
