Am, G, Am, G x5 AmGAmGAmGAmG 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 Am, G, Am, G x4
Am, G, Am, G, Am,G, Am, G 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
Chorus: AmGFGAmGF But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened GAmGFG And that we were nothing And I don't even need your love AmGFG But you treat me like a stranger And that feels so rough AmGFGAmGF You didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records GAmGFG And then change your number I guess that I don't need that though AmGFG Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Am, G, Am, G AmGFG Now you're just somebody that I used to know x
AmGAmGAmGAmG Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over AmGFGAmGAmG But had me believing it was always something that I'd done FAmGG And I don't wanna live that way FAmGG Reading into every word you say FAmGG You said that you could let it go FAmG And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
Chorus: 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
AmGFG Somebody I used to know AmGAmGFG Somebody Now you're just somebody that I used to know x AmGFG I used to know AmGFG Now you're just somebody that I used to know AmGAmGAmGAmGAm Somebody..
