[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.
