• Should I give up,
  Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
  Even if it leads nowhere,
  Or would it be a waste?
  Even if I knew my place should I leave it there?
  Should I give up,
  Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
  Even if it leads nowhere.
  • Chasing Pavements, written by Adele and Eg White

• You say it's all in my head
  And the things I think just don't make sense
  So where you been then? Don't go all coy
  Don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
  See I can see that look in your eyes
  The one that shoots me each and every time.
  You grace me with your cold shoulder
  Whenever you look at me I wish I was her.
  You shower me with words made of knives
  Whenever you look at me I wish I was her.
  • Cold Shoulder, written by Adele and Sacha Skarbek

• You said I'm stubborn and I never give in.
  I think you're stubborn 'cept you're always softening.
  You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that.
  I think you're giving out way too much in fact.
  I say we've only known each other one year;
  You say I've known you longer my dear.
  You like to be so close, I like to be alone.
  I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor.
  Walking with each other, think we'll never match at all, but we do.
  But we do, but we do, but we do.
  • My Same.

• Round my hometown,
  Memories are fresh.
  Round my hometown,
  Ooh the people I've met
  Are the wonders of my world.
  • Hometown Glory.

• I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
  I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
  I like it in the city when two worlds collide
  You get the people and the government
  Everybody taking different sides.
  • Hometown Glory.

• There’s a fire starting in my heart
  Reaching a fever pitch,
  It’s bringing me out the dark
  Finally I can see you crystal clear
  Go head and sell me out
  And I'll lay your ship bare.

  See how I leave with every piece of you[[
  Don’t underestimate the things that I will do.

  • Rolling in the Deep, written by Adele and Paul Epworth

• The scars of your love remind me of us
  They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
  The scars of your love they leave me breathless.
  I can’t help feeling
  We could have had it all.
  Rolling in the deep.
  You had my heart inside of your hand
  And you played it
  To the beat.
  • Rolling in the Deep.

• Bless your soul, you've got you're head in the clouds,
  You made a fool out of you,
  And, boy, she's bringing you down,
  She made your heart melt,
  But you're cold to the core,
  Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore.
  • Rumour Has It, written by Adele and Ryan Tedder

• I can't keep up with your turning tables
  Under your thumb, I can't breathe.

  I won't let you close enough to hurt me, no.
  I won't ask you, you to just desert me.
  I can't give you, what you think you gave me.
  It's time to say goodbye to turning tables.

  • Turning Tables, written by Adele and Ryan Tedder.

• But I set fire to the rain,
  Watched it pour as I touched your face,
  Well it burnt while I cried,
  Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
  I set fire to the rain
  And I threw us into the flames
  Well it felt like something died
  Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
  • Set Fire to the Rain, written by Adele and Fraser T. Smith

• Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
  I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
  Don't forget me, I beg.
  I remember you said,
  "Sometimes it lasts in love,
  But sometimes it hurts instead."
  • Someone Like You, written by Adele and Dan Wilson
