Lyrics

There’s

a (Bb)pic ture that I (F)car ry,

(Bb)one we (F)made

some time a go.

When they ask

who’s (Bb)in the pic ture (F)with me,

(Bb)I just (F)say,

“Some (C7)one I used to (F)know.

Just some (Bb)one

I used to spend some (F)time with,

(Bb)just a (F)flame

that’s lost its glow.”

I don’t tell them of the (F7)nights I cry with (Bb)out you,

I say, (F)“Just

some (C7)one I used to (F)know.

Just some (Bb)one

I used to run a (F)round with,

(Bb)just a (F)friend

of long a go.”

I don’t tell them how (F7)lost I am with (Bb)out you,

I say, (F)“Just

some (C7)one I used to (F)know.”

(Bb)I say, (F)“Just

some (C7)one I used to (Bb)know.”
