Pick a learning view.
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,

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.

About “Million Years Ago”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Million Years Ago"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature E. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "Million Years Ago" by Adele played in?
- Million Years Ago is arranged in the key of E on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "Million Years Ago"?
- The arrangement plays at 100 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "Million Years Ago" easy to play on piano?
- This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.
- Can I download sheet music for "Million Years Ago"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "Million Years Ago"?
- "Million Years Ago" was originally performed by Adele. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What other songs by Adele can I play here?
- Try "SOMEONE LIKE YOU", "Hello", "SKYFALL". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "Million Years Ago" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature E, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 100 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
