Rolling in the Deep - Adele Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me

There's a fire starting in my heart out the dark

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me

out the dark The scars of your love remind me of us

Finally, I can see you crystal clear They keep me thinking that we almost had it

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your all

shit bare The scars of your love, they leave me

breathless

See how I'll leave with every piece of you I can't help feeling

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart We could've had it all


(You're gonna wish you never had met me) We could've had it all

Rolling in the deep (You're gonna wish you never had met me)

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside of your hand (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(You're gonna wish you never had met me) You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it to the beat (You're gonna wish you never had met me)

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) And you played it to the beat

Baby, I have no story to be told (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna

make your head burn We could've had it all

Think of me in the depths of your despair Rolling in the deep

Making home down there, as mine sure You had my heart inside of your hand

won't be shared But you played it with a beating

(You're gonna wish you never had met me) Throw your soul through every open door

The scars of your love remind me of us Count your blessings to find what you look

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) for

They keep me thinking that we almost had it Turn my sorrow into treasured gold

all You pay me back in kind and reap just what

(You're gonna wish you never had met me) you sow

The scars of your love, they leave me

breathless (You're gonna wish you never had met me)

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) We could've had it all

I can't help feeling (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could've had it all


(You're gonna wish you never had met me) intonation: is it fast-paced / slow?

It all, it all, it all Easy to understand? Difficult /

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) easy?
