I built a friend
With three pieces of plastic and [F#m] a pen
I made him on the table in [D] the den
I gave him my old cell phone for [A] a head
for [E] a head
And [A] we spent
Holidays at my house and [F#m] we left
Presents in a stocking and [D] we bought
Bolts and things and strings and a [A] new watch
That's what [E] he got [D] and we had so much fun
together
[A] We knew we'd be friends forever
And [D] we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun
Then [A] I left
For college in September and [F#m] we wept
Cuz we can't be together.
So [D] I kept
pictures to remember my [A] old friend
my [E] old friend
Then [A] I met
this girl at graduation [F#m] and forget
My oldest creation and [D] I guess
I'll see him next vacation send [A] my best.
I send [E] my best
[D] And we had so much fun
together
[A] We knew we'd be friends forever
And [D] we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun I
[A] came home
To find [G#] him on the table with [F#m] no
Scribble out in pencil and [D] he wrote
He just wasn't stable [A] all
All
[E] Next [A] to him
An empty glass of water that [F#m] he spilled
all over the body that [D] I built
It fizzled and it popped and then [A] it killed and then [E] it killed and
[D] We had so much fun
together
[A] We thought we'd be [E] friends forever
And [D] we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun I
built [A] a friend
With three pieces of plastic and [F#m] a pen
