When playing the F chord in the verses try and let your finger catch the high E string 
you got for an up strum :) just adds a little something extra in there.

The story behind the song

At its heart, "Use Somebody" is a too-cool hipster's cry for comfort, a yearning for connection in a world that can feel isolating. The lyrics speak to a deep desire to find someone, to lean on another person when you feel alone. It’s about needing that specific individual, that "someone like you," to share life with. Released in 2008 on the album Only by the Night, this Kings of Leon track became a widely recognized anthem for that universal human need for connection.
