Intermediate level arrangement of 202 Sam Smith hit in the key of G (original is in Gb).
For an early intermediate player, use only mm.1-24. VERSE is a G pentascale melody; CHORUS is G pentatonic stretching across a 10th, so hand movement is required (happens twice).  LH plays 2-3 note 7th chords and sometimes has a held whole note with two moving notes. Rhythm is primarily 8th notes and quarter notes…most of the 16th syncopated/straight rhythm & 16th notes have been eliminated. Â
Late intermediate players will appreciate the development in the second verse/chorus. The LH pattern changes to moving 8th notes in a Jim Brickman/Chopin-esque pattern regularly using 9ths & 10ths. LH drops down an octave for the final chorus. RH adds occasional alto note to the chorus melody line.Â
