Rolling in the Deep
Adele · 2010
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- (Rolling in the deep)
- You had my heart inside (you're gonna wish you)
- Of your hands (never had met me)
- And you played it (tears are gonna fall)
Echo the hook
- 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 ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
