A simple way to play it on an acoustic guitar.
For the 5th chords in Verses 1, 2 & 4 mute the bridge with the palm
of the hand. Listen very carefully for where the chords change,
only the falls on the first beat of the bar, the rest are just
behind the first beat.

There's a fire start - ing in my heart, reach - ing a fever pitch,
And it's bring - ing me out the dark,
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go a - head, and sell me out, and I'll lay your shit bare!
See how I'll leave, with ever - y piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do,
There's a fire start - ing in my heart,
Reach - ing a fever pitch,
And it's bring - ing me out the dark!
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...
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
And you played it ...to the beat!
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
Baby, I have no stor - y to be told,
But I've heard one of you, and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me, in the depths of your despair,
Mak - ing a home down there, as mine sure won't be shared!
The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me, tears are gonna fall...)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
(...Rolling in the deep!)
The scars of your love,
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
They leave me breathless, I can't help feeling...
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
And you played it ...to the beat, we could have had it...
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
But you played it ...with beating!
Throw your soul through every open door,
*
Count your blessings to find what you look for,
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
*
You pay me back in kind, and reap just what you sow!
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
(Tears are gonna fall, ...rolling in the...)
(...deep! You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
It all, it all, it all, we could have had it...
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
And you played it ...to the beat, we could have had it...
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep!)
(You're gonna wish you ...never had met me!)
But you played it, you played it, you played...
[Coda]
...You played it to the beat!

An acoustic session can be found on the album:
'Dermot O'Leary Presents The Saturday Sessions 2011', where Adele
performs this song a semi -tone lower, so capo at 2nd fret to play
along with that version.
