Song title:      Somebody That I Used To Know
Original Album:	 Gotye

Words and Music by Wally de Backer
Copyright © 2011 Eleven Records
Published by BMG Music Publishing Ltd

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
The actual chords in the verses are Dm7 and C (with some variations
on the Dm7 chord) that are just repeated. (Sometimes it sounds like a simple
minor, sometimes a sus4 chord, in the middle of a measure).

If you want to sound a bit more like the record, I suggest you capo on 5,
as I have below. Chords and tab are relative to capo. Timing is 4/4.

  You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Am7         G             Am7  G          Am7 G | Am7 G |
  Like resignation to the end, always the end
Am7          G                   Am7      G
  So when we found that we could not make sense
Am7         G                  Am7      G
  Well, you said that we would still be friends
Am7          G              Am7       G    | Am7  G |*
  But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

Am7       G               Am7               G        | Am7 G | Am7 G |
  Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Am7          G              F                G      | Am7 G | Am7 G |
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
Am7   G             F         G
  And I don't wanna live that way
Am7       G          F        G
  Reading into every word you say
Am7   G                   F      G
  You said that you could let it go
      Am7                G              F                     G
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...


[repeat CHORUS]

      Am7 G   F       G
Somebody    I used to know

      Am7 G        F       G
Somebody    that I used to know
     (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

      Am7 G        F       G
Somebody    that I used to know
     (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

| Am7 G |      | F       G |
          That I used to know

| Am7 G |      | F       G |
          That I used to know
