[verse 1] A I built a friend with F#m 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 And we bought bolts A 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 So I kept pictures A 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 I came home to find him F#m 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 Next to him, F#m 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.
