Verse 1:
      G+G
I built a friend
                  E minorEm
With three pieces of plastic and a pen
                A minorAm
I made him on the table in the den
  C majorC                E minorEm     D MajorD
I gave him my old cell phone for a head (for a head)
     G+G
And we spent holidays at my house
     E minorEm
And we left presents in a stocking
     A minorAm   C majorC
And we bought bolts and things and strings
      E minorEm          D MajorD
And a new watch, that's what he got

Chorus:
  C majorC   G+G    E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
We knew we'd be friends forever
 C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
We had so much fun


Verse 2:
   G+G     E minorEm
Then I left for college in September
  A minorAm      G+G
And we wept cause we can't be together
  A minorAm   C majorC             G+G      D MajorD
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend
   G+G      E minorEm
Then I met this girl at graduation
   A minorAm  G+G
And forget my oldest creation
  A minorAm    C majorC
And I guess I'll see him next vacation
    G+G       D MajorD
Send my best, I send my best

Chorus 2:
  C majorC   G+G    E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
We knew we'd be friends forever
 C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
We had so much fun


Bridge:
  G+G      E minorEm
I came home to find him on the table
     A minorAm  G+G
With a note, scribbled out in pencil
   A minorAm
And he wrote
   C majorC             G+G     D MajorD
That he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
     G+G    E minorEm
Next to him, an empty glass of water
   G+G
That he spilt
E minorEm           A minorAm
All over the body that I built
   C majorC
It fizzled and it popped
        E minorEm         D MajorD
And then it killed, and then it killed


Chorus 3:
  C majorC   G+G    E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
We thought we'd be friends forever
 C majorC     G+G   E minorEm
And we had so much fun together
C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
We had so much fun


Outro:
       G+G
