| [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] | [Dm] [C] |

| [Dm] Now and [C] then I think of |
| [Dm] When we [C] were to- | [Dm] gether [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] Like when you [C] said you felt so |
| [Dm] Happy [C] you could | [Dm] die [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] Told my- [C] self that you were | [Dm] right for [C] me |
| [Dm] But felt so [C] lonely in your | [Dm] compa- [C] ny |
| [Dm] But that was [C] love and it's an |
| [Dm] Ache I [C] still re- | [Dm] member [C] | [Dm] [C] |

| [Dm] You can get ad- [C] dicted to a |
| [Dm] Certain [C] kind of [Dm] sadness [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] Like resig- [C] nation to the |   
| [Dm] End [C] always the | [Dm] end [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] So when we [C] found that we could | [Dm] not make [C] sense |
| [Dm] Well you [C] said that we would | [Dm] still be [C] friends |
| [Dm] But I'll ad- [C] mit that I was |
| [Dm] Glad that [C] it was | [Dm] over [C] | [Dm] [C] |

| [Dm] But you [C] didn't have to | [Bb] cut me [C] off |
| [Dm] Make out [C] like it never | [Bb] happened and that [C] we were |
| [Dm] nothing... and [C] I don't even | [Bb] need your [C] love
but you | [Dm] treat me like a [C] stranger
and that | [Bb] feels so [C] rough |

| [Dm] No you [C] didn't have to | [Bb] stoop so [C] low |
| [Dm] Have your [C] friends collect your |
| [Bb] records and then [C] change your | [Dm] number
I [C] guess that I don't | [Bb] need that [C] though |
| [Dm] Now you're just some- [C] body that I | [Bb] used to [C] know |

Sung by Second Voice
| [Dm] Now and [C] then I think of |
| [Dm] All the times you [C] screwed me | [Dm] over [C] | [Dm] [C] |
| [Dm] But had me be- [C] lieving it was |
| [Dm] Always something [C] that I'd | [Dm] done [C] | [Dm] [C] |

| [Bb] And I don't wanna | [C] live that way |
| [Bb] Reading into every | [C] word you say |
| [Bb] You said that you could | [C] let it go
And I | [Bb] wouldn't catch you hung up
On some- | [C↓] body that you used to |
