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.
