Chasing Pavements, written by Adele and Eg White You say it's all in my headAnd the things I think just don't make senseSo where you been then? Don't go all coyDon't turn it round on me like it's my faultSee I can see that look in your eyesThe one that shoots me each and every time.You grace me with your cold shoulderWhenever you look at me I wish I was her.You shower me with words made of knivesWhenever 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 metAre the wonders of my world. Hometown Glory I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaqueI love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shadesI like it in the city when two worlds collideYou get the people and the governmentEverybody taking different sides. Hometown Glory 21 (2011) There's a fire starting in my heartReaching a fever pitch,It’s bringing me out the darkFinally I can see you crystal clearGo head and sell me outAnd I'll lay your ship bare.See how I leave with every piece of youDon'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 usThey keep me thinking that we almost had it all.The scars of your love they leave me breathless.I can't help feelingWe could have had it all.Rolling in the deep.You had my heart inside of your handAnd you played itTo 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 tablesUnder 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 rainAnd I threw us into the flamesWell it felt like something diedCause I knew that that was the last time, the last time! Set Fire to the Rain, written by Adele and Fraser T.

Someone Like You, written by Adele and Dan Wilson 25 (2015) Hello from the other side,I must've called a thousand timesTo tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done,But when I call, you never seem to be home.Hello from the outside.At least, I can say that I've triedTo tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart,But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore. Hello, written by Adele and Greg Kurstin Send my love to your new lover,Treat her better.We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts.We both know we ain't kids no more. Send My Love, written by Adele, Max Martin and Shellback Let me photograph you in this lightIn case it is the last time that we mightBe exactly like we were before we realisedWe were sad of getting old, it made us restless.It was just like a movie,It was just like a song. When We Were Young, written by Adele and Tobias Jesso Jr. If you're not the one for me,Then how come I can bring you to your knees?If you're not the one for me,Why do I hate the idea of being free?And if I'm not the one for you,You've gotta stop holding me the way you do.Oh honey, if I'm not the one for you,Why have we been through what we have been through? Water Under the Bridge, written by Adele and Greg Kurstin If you're gonna let me down, let me down gently.Don't pretend that you don't want me.Our love ain't water under the bridge. Water Under the Bridge I can't love you in the dark,It feels like we're oceans apart.There is so much space between us,Baby, we're already defeated.Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, everything changed me. Love in the Dark, written by Adele and Samuel Dixon I only wanted to have funLearning to fly, learning to run.I let my heart decide the wayWhen I was youngDeep down, I must have always knownThat this would be inevitableTo earn my stripes, I'd have to payAnd bare my soul. Million Years Ago, written by Adele and Greg Kurstin If this is my last night with you,Hold me like I'm more than just a friend.Give me a memory I can use,Take me by the hand while we doWhat lovers do.It matters how this ends'Cause what if I never love again? All I Ask, written by Adele, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Christopher Brody Brown 30 (2021) There ain't no gold in this riverThat I've been washin' my hands in forever.I know there is hope in these waters,But I can't bring myself to swimWhen I am drowning in this silence,Baby, let me in.Go easy on me, baby.I was still a child.Didn't get the chance toFeel the world around me.I had no time to choose what I chose to do,So go easy on me. Easy on Me, written by Adele and Greg Kurstin Oh, my God, I can't believe it.Out of all the people in the world,What is the likelihood of jumpingOut of my life and into your arms?Maybe, baby, I'm just losing my mind,'Cause this is trouble, but it feels right.Teetering on the edge of Heaven and HellIs a battle that I cannot fight.
