I am very new to this thing, so the chords are not in line; so sorry!!!


A

I built a friend,
   F#

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#
And we left,

Presents in the stocking,
D
And we bought,
 A
Bolts and things and strings and a new watch,
  E
That's what he got.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A    E
We had so much fun.
 A
Then I left,

For college in September,
  F#
And we wept,

Cause we can't be together,
         D
So I kept,
A
Pictures to remember my old friend,
E
My old friend.
A
Then I met,

This girl at graduation,
F#
And forget,

My oldest creation
D
And I guess,

I'll see him next vacation,
     A
Send my best,
     E
I send my best.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A     E
We had so much fun.
A
I came home,
F#
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
Next to him,
      F#
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.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We thought we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We had so much fun.
A
I built a friend.
