Lyrics

I (G)heard

That you

found a girl and you’re

mar ried now.

I heard that your (Bm)dreams came true.

Guess she (Em)gave you things

I did n’t (C)give to you.

(G)Old friend,

why are you (Bm)so shy?

Ain’t like (Em)you to hold back, or (C)hide from the light.

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

I could n’t fight it.

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

Nev er mind I’ll (D)find some one like (Em)you.

I wish (G)noth ing but the (D)best for (Em)you

(C)two.

Don’t for (G)get me, I (D)beg.

I’ll re (Em)mem ber you (C)said some times it (G)lasts and loves but (D)some times it hurts in (Em)stead.

Some times it (G)lasts and loves but (D)some times it hurts in (Em)stead.

Someone Like You — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners

81 people have learned this song

Learn "Someone Like You" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of G, 68 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand Alberti bass pattern — that broken-chord figure where your fingers roll bottom-top-middle-top beneath the melody.

At 68 BPM the tempo is forgiving, but don't let that fool you: slow songs expose every uneven note, so practice your left hand alone first until the Alberti motion feels automatic across all seven chords.

Pay special attention to the transitions into Bm and E — both use notes outside the simple G-major hand position, so isolate those changes and loop them until your fingers land without hesitation.

Once each hand is confident, bring them together at half speed and gradually work up.

Keep your wrist relaxed and let the sustain pedal connect each chord change smoothly, lifting right as the new chord sounds.

Nail this piece and you'll have Alberti bass in your muscle memory for good.
