, , ,  x5
Now  and then  I think  of  when  we  were  together
 Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
 Told myself that you were right for me
 But felt so lonely in your company
 But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
, , ,  x4
You can  get  addicted  to a  certain kind of sadness
 Like resignation to the end
 Always the end
 So when we found that we could not make sense
 Well you said that we would still be friends
 But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But  you didn't  have to cut  me  off
Make  out like  it never  happened
 And that we  were nothing
 And I  don't even need  your  love
 But you treat  me like a stranger
 And that feels  so rough
 You didn't have to stoop so low
 Have your friends collect your records
 And then change your number
 I guess that I don't need that though
 Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now  and then  I think of  all the times you screwed  me over
But  had me believing  it was always  something  that I'd  done
And  I  don't wanna live  that way
Reading  into every  word you say
You  said  that you  could let it go
And  I wouldn't  catch  you hung up on somebody that you used to know...
 But you didn't have to cut me off
 Make out like it never happened
 And that we were nothing
 And I don't even need your love
 But you treat me like a stranger
 And that feels so rough
 You didn't have to stoop so low
 Have your friends collect your records
 And then change your number
 I guess that I don't need that though
 Now you're just somebody that I used to know
I  used  to  know
That I  used  to  know x2
Somebody...

[Am]Now and [G]then I [Am]thi[G]nk of[Am] when[G] w[Am]e we[G]re together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

[Am], [G], [Am], [G] x4

[Am]You [G]can[Am] get[G] ad[Am]dic[G]ted[Am] to [G]a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end

Always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

[Am]But you [G]didn't have to [F]cut m[G]e off
[Am]Make out [G]like it nev[F]er happened
And that [G]we were not[Am]hing
And [G]I don't even n[F]eed your[G] love
But you t[Am]reat me like a s[G]tranger
And that f[F]eels so [G]rough

You didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

And then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Am]Now and t[G]hen I think of[Am] all the times you s[G]crewed me o[Am]ver [G]   [Am]      [G]
[Am]But had me b[G]elieving it was a[F]lways something[G] that I[Am]'d do[G]ne[Am]   [G]
[F]And I[Am] don't wanna l[G]ive that way
[F]Reading[Am] into ev[G]ery word you say
[F]You sai[Am]d that you[G] could let it go
[F]And I w[Am]ouldn't cat[G]ch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Am]I us[G]ed to[F] kn[G]ow
[Am]That [G]I use[F]d to[G] know x2

[Am]Somebo[G]dy..[F].   [G]
