Intro
[A]
Verse 1
I built a [A]friend with three pieces of plastic and a [F#m]pen,
I made him on the table in the [D]den,
I gave him my old cellphone for a [A]head,
For a [E]head.
And we [A]spent holidays in my house,
And we [F#m]left presents in the stocking,
And we [D]bought bolts and things and strings and a new [A]watch,
That's what he [E]got.
Chorus
[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.
Verse 2
Then I [A]left for college in September
And we [F#m]wept cause we can't be together
So I [D]kept pictures to remember my old [A]friend,
My old [E]friend.
Then I [A]met this girl at graduation
And [F#m]forget my oldest creation
And I [D]guess I'll see him next vacation
Send my [A]best, I send my [E]best
Chorus
[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.
Verse 3
I came [A]home to find him on the table with a [F#m]note
Scribbled out in pencil and he [D]wrote
That he just wasn't stable all [A]alone,
All [E]alone.
Next to [A]him, an empty glass of water that he [F#m]spilled
All over the body that I [D]built,
It fizzled and it popped and then it [A]killed,
And then it [E]killed.
Chorus
[D]And we had so much fun together,
[A]We thought we'd [E]be friends forever.
[D]And we had so much fun together,
[A]we had so much [E]fun.
I built a [A]friend.
