Jam Along & Learn...
I built a friend
With three pieces plastic [F#m] and a pen
I made him on a table [D] in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for [A] a head
for [E] a head
and [A] we spent
Holidays [G#] in my house and [F#m] we left
Presents in [A] 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] He knew we'd be [E] friends forever
[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
We can't [A] be together so [D] I kept
pictures to remember [A] 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
See you next vacation.
[A] Send my best.
I [E] send my best
[D] We had so much fun together
[A] We knew we'd [E] be friends forever
[D] Had so much fun together
[A] We had so [E] much fun I
[A] Came home
To find him on the table [F#m] with the note
Scribbled out in pencil [D] and he wrote
He just wasn't stable all [A] alone
all [E] alone
next [A] to him
An empty glass of water [F#m] that he spilled
All over the [D] body that I built
It fizzled and it popped and then [A] it killed
Then [E] it killed
[D] We had so much fun together
[A] We thought we'd be [E] friends forever
[A] [D] Had so much fun [A] together
We had so much [E]
fun I built a friend
