[Intro] A
[Verse 1]
A F#m
I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen,
D
I made him on the table in the den,
A
I gave him my old cellphone for a head,
E
For a head.
A
And we spent holidays in my house,
F#m
And we left presents in the stocking,
D A
And we bought bolts and things and strings and a new watch,
E
That's what he got.
[Chorus]
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
we had so much fun.
[Verse 2]
A
Then I left for college in September
F#m
And we wept cause we can't be together
D A
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend,
E
My old friend.
A
Then I met this girl at graduation
F#m
And forget my oldest creation
D
And I guess I'll see him next vacation
A E
Send my best, I send my best
[Chorus]
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
we had so much fun.
[Verse 3]
A F#m
I came home to find him on the table with a note
D
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote
A
That he just wasn't stable all alone,
E
All alone.
A F#m
Next to him, an empty glass of water that he spilled
D
All over the body that I built,
A
It fizzled and it popped and then it killed,
E
And then it killed.
[Chorus]
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
We thought we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
we had so much fun.
A
I built a friend.
