Lyrics

Go take this (G)the (C)wrong way,

(D)but you knew who (D)I was with ev ’ry step (Bm)that I (C)ran to you.

On ly blue (G)or black days,

e (Em)lect ing strange (D)per fec tions in an y stran (Bm)ger I (C)choose.

Would things be (Bm7)eas i er if there was a right way?

Hon ey, (Dm7)there is no right way.

And so I (G)fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit, ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

(G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

(G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new, (G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

There’s an art to life’s dis trac tions,

to some how es cape the burn ing wait, the art of scrap ing through.

Some like to i (C)ma gine,

the dark ca ress of some one else, I guess an y thrill will do.

Would things be (Bm7)eas i er if there was a right way?

Hon ey, (Dm7)there is no right way.

And so I (G)fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit, ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

(G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

(G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new, (G)I fall in love just a lit tle, (G)oh a lit tle (C)bit ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

(C)ev ’ry day with some (D)one new.

I wake at the first cringe of morn (Em)ing,

and (B7)my heart’s al (Em)read y sinned.

How (C7)pure, how sweet a love, A re tha, that (Em)you would pray for him.

’Cause God knows I (Am)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit ev ’ry day with some one new, I (Em)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit ev ’ry day with some one new.

I (Am)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit ev ’ry day with some one new, I (Em)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit ev ’ry day with some one new.

I (C)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit (C7)ev ’ry day with some one new, I (Bm)fall in love just a lit tle, oh a lit tle bit (D)ev ’ry day.

Love with ev ’ry (G)stran ger, the stran ger the bet ter.

Love with ev ’ry (G)stran ger, the stran ger the bet ter.

Love with ev ’ry (G)stran ger, the stran ger the bet ter.

Love with ev ’ry (G)stran ger, the stran ger the bet ter.

About “Someone New

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Someone New" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key G, 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 New" by Hozier in?
The backing track is in G at 94 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 New" 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 New"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Someone New", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Someone New" 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 New"?
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 New"?

What other backing tracks by Hozier are available?
Other accompaniments by Hozier: "Angel Of Small Death And The Codeine Scene", "Foreigner's God", "From Eden". 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 G, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Someone New" 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.
