out for a tab (including myself!) so here is my interpretation.

Tuning:
Open D

D (high E string)

F#
G

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

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

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

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

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

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
