Alec Benjamin – I Built A Friend (Ukulele)

G                                                   Em
I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen

                               C
I made him on the table in the den

                                   G           D
I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head

       G
And we spent holidays at my house

       Em
And we left presents in a stocking

       C
And we bought bolts and things and strings

          G                     D
And a new watch, that's what he got

    C
And we had so much fun together

G
We knew we'd be friends forever

    C
And we had so much fun together

G              D
We had so much fun

       G
Then I left for college in September

       Em
And we wept cause we can't be together

     C                                G              D
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend

       G
Then I met this girl at graduation

    Em
And forget my oldest creation

      C
And I guess I'll see him next vacation

        G               D
Send my best, I send my best

    C
And we had so much fun together

G
We knew we'd be friends forever

    C
And we had so much fun together

G              D
We had so much fun

    G
I came home to find him on the table

       Em
With a note, scribbled out in pencil

       C
And he wrote, that he just wasn't stable

    G          D
all alone, all alone

        G
Next to him, an empty glass of water

        Em                              C
That he spilt, all over the body that I built

            G                   D
And then it killed, and then it killed

    C
And we had so much fun together

G
We thought we'd be friends forever

    C
And we had so much fun together

G              D
We had so much fun

G
I built a friend
