PRACTICING VERBS IN PAST SIMPLE

Listen to the song and complete the lyrics with the past simple of the verbs in brackets. Then group them into "regular" or "irregular" verbs


Somebody that I (use) to know

Now and then I think of when we (be) together
Like when you (say) you (feel) so happy you (can) die
(Tell) myself that you (be) right for me
But (feel) so lonely in your company
But that (be) love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we (find) that we (can) not make sense
Well you (say) that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I (be) glad it (be) over

But you (not have) to cut me off (1)
Make out like it never (happen) and that we (be) nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you (not 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 (use) to know

Now you're just somebody that I (use) to know
Now you're just somebody that I (use) to know

[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you (screw) me over
But (have) me believing it (be) always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You (say) that you (can) let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you (use) to know

[Gotye:](1)

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody
