Adele - Chasing Pavements Lyrics

Adele Lyrics

"Chasing Pavements"

I've made up my mind
Don't need to think it over
If I'm wrong, I am right
Don't need to look no further
This ain't lust, I know this is love, but
If I tell the world, I'll never say enough
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do if I end up with you

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?

I build myself up and fly around in circles
Waiting as my heart drops
And my back begins to tingle
Finally, could this be it, or?

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? Yeah

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 on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Oh-oh

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?

Adele explained in an interview with Blues & Soul how this song came about, "The night before I wrote it was the same night I actually met the boy the album's written about! We actually had this fight the first night we met. And I went to Eg's studio the next morning with these couple of shitty chords I'd figured out earlier that same day—and then he took those two chords and a chorus and made it into 'Chasing Pavements'!"

This song became the first hit for Adele on the US Billboard Hot 100.

'Chasing Pavements' was performed by Adele at the Grammy Awards ceremony in 2009, when this song won for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance".
