I used the youtube video to tab this out as best I could.
A few youtube tutorial vids found with users screaming
out for a tab (including myself!) so here is my interpretation.
D (high E string)
A
F#
D
A
D (low E String)
[1st Verse:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
D |--------|---0---0----0----0---| A |-0------|--0---0----0----0----| F#|-8------|-8---7---------7-----| D |--------|----------9----------| x 2 A |--------|---------------------| D |-9------|-9-------------------|
I told myself you were right for me, but felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
D |--------|---------|--------|------| A |-0------|-0-------|-0------|-0----| F#|-8------|-7-------|-5------|-7----| D |--------|---------|--------|------| x 2 A |--------|---------|--------|------| D |-9------|-7-------|-5------|-7----|
[Chorus]
But you didn't have to cut me off, make it 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 it feels so rough
D |--------|-------|--------|---------|---------|-------|--------|--------| A |---0----|-------|---0----|------0--|---0-----|-------|---0----|--------| F#|--0-----|-------|--0-----|-----0---|--0------|-------|--0-----|--------| D |-4------|-------|-4------|----2----|-4-------|-------|-2------|--------| A |-2------|-------|-2------|----0----|---------|-------|-0------|--------| D |--------|-------|--------|---------|-5-------|-------|--------|--------| (let ring)
No, 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
D |--------|-------|--------|---------|---------|-------|---------|--------| A |---0---0|---0--0|---0--0-|---0---0-|---0--0--|--0--0-|---0--0--|--------| F#|--0---0-|--0--0-|--0--0--|--0---0--|--0--0---|-0--0--|--0--0---|--------| D |-4---4--|-4--4--|-4--4---|-4---2---|-4--4----|4--4---|-2--2----|-2------| A |-2------|-------|-2------|-----0---|---------|-------|-0-------|-0------| D |--------|-------|--------|---------|-5-------|-------|---------|--------| break D |---0---0----0----0---| A |--0---0----0----0----| F#|-8---7---------7-----| D |----------9----------| A |---------------------| D |-9-------------------|
[2nd verse]
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
D |--------|---0---0----0----0---| A |-0------|--0---0----0----0----| F#|-8------|-8---7---------7-----| D |--------|----------9----------| x 2 A |--------|---------------------| D |-9------|-9-------------------|
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
D |--------|---------|--------|------| A |-0------|-0-------|-0------|-0----| F#|-8------|-7-------|-5------|-7----| D |--------|---------|--------|------| x 2 A |--------|---------|--------|------| D |-9------|-7-------|-5------|-7----|
[Chorus]
But you didn't have to cut me off, make it out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't wanna live that way, but you treat me like a stranger and it feels so rough
D |--------|-------|--------|---------|---------|-------|--------|--------| A |---0----|-------|---0----|------0--|---0-----|-------|---0----|--------| F#|--0-----|-------|--0-----|-----0---|--0------|-------|--0-----|--------| D |-4------|-------|-4------|----2----|-4-------|-------|-2------|--------| A |-2------|-------|-2------|----0----|---------|-------|-0------|--------| D |--------|-------|--------|---------|-5-------|-------|--------|--------| (let ring)

Somebody....Somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody oh, somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
D |---0----0----0----0----| |---0----0----0----0----| | A |--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0---| |--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0---| | F#|-8---7----------7------| x 2 |-8----7----5----7------| x 2 | Play this twice overall D |-----------9-----------| |-----------------------| | and play the (7) on the A |-----------------------| |-----------------------| | last of each run D |-9---------------------| |-5--------------(7)----| |
Last Chorus:
But you didn't have to cut me off, make it 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 it feels so rough
D |--------| A |-0------| vocals continue chord progression, but could be played as above. F#|-8------| D |--------| A |--------| D |-9------|
No, you didn't have to stoop so low, have your friends collect your records and then
