Lyrics

I

heard

that you’re

set tled down, that you

found a girl and you’re

mar ried now.

I heard

that your (Dm)dreams came true.

Guess she (Gm)gave you things

I did n’t (Eb)give to you.

(Bb)Old friend,

why are you so shy?

Ain’t like (Gm)you to hold back

or (Eb)hide from the light.

I (F)hate to turn up out of the (Gm)blue un in vit ed, but I could n’t stay a way, I could n’t fight it.

I had (F)hoped you’d see my face and (Gm)that you’d be re mind ed that, for (Eb)me, it is n’t o ver.

Nev er mind, I’ll (F)find some one like (Gm)you.

I wish (Bb)noth ing but the (F)best

for (Gm)you,

(Eb)too.

Don’t for (Bb)get me, I (F)beg.

I re (Gm)mem ber you (Eb)said, “Some times it (Bb)lasts in love, but (F)some times it hurts in (Gm)stead.”

Some times it (Gm)lasts in love, but (F)some times it hurts in (Gm)stead.

You know how the

time flies, on ly

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

We were (Bb)born and raised

in a (Dm)sum mer haze,

bound (Gm)by the sur prise

of our (Eb)glo ry days.

I (F)hate to turn up out of the (Gm)blue un in vit ed, but I could n’t stay a way, I could n’t fight it.

I had (F)hoped you’d see my face and (Gm)that you’d be re mind ed that, for (Eb)me, it is n’t o ver.

(Eb)Who would have known how

bit ter (Cm)sweet

(Bb)this would (Eb)taste?

Nev er mind, I’ll (F)find some one like (Gm)you.

I wish (Bb)noth ing but the (F)best

About “Someone Like You”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Someone Like You"?
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 Bb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Someone Like You" by Adele played in?
Someone Like You is arranged in the key of Bb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Someone Like You"?
The arrangement plays at 69 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Someone Like You" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Someone Like You"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Someone Like You"?

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 — "Someone Like You" 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 Bb, 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 69 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.
