verse · | Am | G | (ride verses 1–2 — see tab)

Am          G        Am         Am          G             Am     G     Am    G
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 

instrumental shorthand · Am G · ×8 (see tab — bottom)

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

 

Am        G                       F         G
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 G F G    Am                         G                       F            G
                     Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Am G F G    Am                         G                       F            G
                      Now you're just somebody that I used to know

interlude · Am G · ×4 

Am          G                      Am                       G                   Am G Am G
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
G                                                    G
And I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say
G                                                     G
You said that you could let it go. And I wouldn't catch you hung up on
N.C. somebody that you used to know...
