Verse 1 -
||A - G - ||x 16
(A½) Now and (G½)then I think of (A½)when we (G½)were to(A½)gether (G½) (A½) (G½)
(A½) Like when you (G½)said you felt so (A½)happy (G½)you could (A½)die (G½) (A½) (G½)
(A½) Told my(G½)self that you were (A½)right for (G½)me
(A½) But felt so (G½)lonely in your com(A½)pa(G½)ny
(A½) But that was (G½)love and it's an (A½)ache I (G½)still re(A½)member (G½) (A½) (G½)

Verse 2 -
||A - G - ||x 16
(A½)You can get (G½)addicted to a (A½)certain (G½)kind of (A½)sadness (G½) (A½) (G½)
(A½) Like resig(G½)nation to the (A½)end, (G½)always the (A½)end (G½) (A½) (G½)
(A½)So when we (G½)found that we could (A½)not make (G½)sense

(A½) But I'll (G½)admit that I was (A½)glad (G½)it was (A½)over (G½) (A½) (G½)

(A½) But you (G½)didn't have to (F½)cut me (G½)off
(A½) Make out (G½)like it never (F½)happened and (G½)that we were (A½)nothing
And (G½)I don't even (F½)need your (G½)love
But you (A½)treat me like a (G½)stranger and that (F½)feels so (G½)rough
(A½) No, you (G½)didn't have to (F½)stoop so (G½)low
(A½) Have your (G½)friends collect your (F½)records
And then (G½)change your (A½)number
I (G½)guess that I don't (F½)need that (G½)though
(A½)Now you're just some(G½)body that I (F½)used to (G½)know
(A½) (G½) (F½) (G½)

(A½) Now and (G½)then, I think of (A½)all the times you (G½)screwed me (A½)over (G½) (A½) (G½)
(A½)But had me (G½)believing it was (A½)always something (G½)that I'd (A½)done (G½) (A½) (G½)
(Gx8) But 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
