                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.
