Verse 1:
AGbm 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,
Gbm And we left presents in the stocking,
DA 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,
AE We knew we'd be friends forever.
D And we had so much fun together,
AE we had so much fun.
Verse 2:
A Then I left for college in September
Gbm And we wept cause we can't be together
DA So I kept pictures to remember my old friend,
E My old friend.
A Then I met this girl at graduation
Gbm And forget my oldest creation
D And I guess I'll see him next vacation
AE Send my best, I send my best
Chorus:
D And we had so much fun together,
AE We knew we'd be friends forever.
D And we had so much fun together,
AE we had so much fun.
Verse 3:
AGbm 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.
AGbm 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,
AE We thought we'd be friends forever.
D And we had so much fun together,
AE we had so much fun.
A I built a friend.
