Intro: Dm, C, Dm, C x5
Verse: DmCDmCDmCDmC Now and then I think of when we were together DmCDmCDmCDmC Like when you said you felt so happy you could die DmCDmC Told myself that you were right for me DmCDmC But felt so lonely in your company DmCDmCDmCDmC But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
Bridge: Dm, C, Dm, C x4
Verse 2: 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: DmCBbC But you didn't have to cut me off DmCBb Make out like it never happened CDm And that we were nothing CBbC And I don't even need your love DmC But you treat me like a stranger BbC And that feels so rough DmCBbC You didn't have to stoop so low DmCBb Have your friends collect your records CDm And then change your number CBbC I guess that I don't need that though DmCBbC Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Verse 3: DmCDmCDmCDmC Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over DmCBbCDmCDmC But had me believing it was always something that I'd done DmCBbC And I don't wanna live that way DmCBbC Reading into every word you say DmCBbC You said that you could let it go DmCBbC 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
DmCBbC I used to know DmCBbC That I used to know x
