Now and then I think of when we were together
( Dm C )

Like when you said you felt so happy

Told myself that you were right for me
Dm C Dm C
But felt so lonely in your company
Dm C Dm
But that was love and it's an ache
C Dm C Dm C
I still remember
Dm C Dm C Dm C
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
( Dm C )
Dm C Dm
Like resignation to the end
C Dm C Dm C
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

But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm C Bb5(9)
Make out like it never happened
C Dm
And that we were nothing
C Bb5(9) C
And I don't even need your love
Dm C
But you treat me like a stranger
Bb5(9) C
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me
Dm C Dm C
Over
Dm C Dm
But had me believing it was always something
C Dm C Dm C
That I'd done

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