Dm        C               Dm      C      Dm     C  Dm  C
  Now and then I think of when we were together
Dm            C                  Dm    C         Dm  C  Dm  C
  Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Dm       C                  Dm        C
  Told myself that you were right for me
Dm            C              Dm   C
  But felt so lonely in your company
Dm             C                Dm     C       Dm     C  Dm  C
  But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

Instrumental: Dm  C x8

Dm        C            Dm           C       Dm      C  Dm  C
  You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Dm          C             Dm   C          Dm  C  Dm  C
  Like resignation to the end, always the end
Dm           C                   Dm       C
  So when we found that we could not make sense
Dm         C                  Dm       C
  Well you said that we would still be friends
Dm           C              Dm   C      Dm   C  Dm  C
  But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

Dm        C              Bb     C
  But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm         C             Bb                C          Dm
  Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
      C            Bb        C
  And I don't even need your love
          Dm              C                 Bb       C
  But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
Dm       C              Bb       C
  No you didn't have to stoop so low
Dm          C                    Bb               C             Dm
  Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    C                  Bb        C
  I guess that I don't need that though
  Dm               C              Bb      C      Riff 1
  Now you're just somebody that I used to know
  Dm               C              Bb      C      Riff 1
  Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Dm        C               Dm                C          Dm    C  Dm  C
  Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Dm           C                Dm               C        Dm    C  Dm  C
  But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
Dm    C             Dm        C
  But I don't wanna live that way
Dm        C          Dm       C
  Reading into every word you say
Dm    C                   Dm     C
  You said that you could let it go
        Dm                 C              Dm            C       Dm
  And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

          C              Bb     C
  But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm         C             Bb                C          Dm
  Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
      C            Bb        C
  And I don't even need your love
          Dm              C                 Bb       C
  But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
Dm       C              Bb       C
  No you didn't have to stoop so low
Dm          C                    Bb               C             Dm
  Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
