I Built A Friend (2020) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] I built a friend
With three pieces of plastic [F#m] and a pen
I made him on a table [D] in the den
I gave him my old cell phone [A] for a head
[E] For a head
[A] Then we spent
Holidays in my house [F#m] and we left
Presents in a [A] stocking [D] and we bought
Bolts and things and strings and a [A] new watch
That's [E] what he got
[D] And we had so much fun together
[A] We knew we'd be [E] friends forever
[D] And we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun
Then [A] I left
For college in September and we wept
Cause we can't be together so [D] I kept
Pictures to remember [A] my old friend
My [E] old friend
[A] Then I met
This girl at graduation and [F#m] forget
My oldest creation and [D] I guess
See him next vacation, [A] send my best
I [E] send my best
[D] And we had so much fun together
[A] We knew we'd be [E] friends [A] forever
[D] And we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun
I [A] came home
To find him on the table [F#m] with a note
Scribbled out in pencil [D] and he wrote
That he just wasn't stable [A] all alone
[E] All alone
[A] Next to him
An empty glass of water [F#m] that 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 [A] forever
[D] And we had so much fun together
[A] We had so much [E] fun
