Your Imaginary Friend chords by Lemon Demon

Intro]
A E F C F C E A

Verse:
(A)    Em
Simple and small,
    F
almost alone.
    C      F
Curled up in a ball
    C  E  A
with a tin can phone
     Em
tied to a twist
      F
leading outside
  C    F
and into the mist
     C E  A
where the shadows hide.
C#7        F#m
Maybe when you’re gone
   D        A
we’ll gladly take your place.
C#7       F#m
You’re so nicely drawn.
  D
We like your face and
A     C#m   F#m    F7
we want to be your imaginary friend,
    Bm   Dm  F  Dm   A
want to be your imaginary friend.
       Em
When you were young
      F
you knew us well.
  C      F
The cat had your tongue,
    C   E  A
so you could not yell
       Em
when you were cross.
       F
All you could do
  C     F
was call it a loss,
      C  E  A
though this was not true.
C#7       F#m
We’ve since disappeared.
Fm       C
That is, until tonight
G       Dm
when you turn out the light
  E         A
and everything stands still.
F      C
The wind’s direction shifts
G       Dm
and makes the curtains lift…
    E       A
and you see us on the sill.

Instrumental:
F C G Dm E
A Em F C F C E A (x2)

Verse:
A     C#7
Every word that you’ve learned,
F#m
Every wish that you’ve burned,
D      A       C#7
Every single strand of hair in your head,
F#7
Every book that you’ve read:
  D         A
We love you this much.
      C#m   F#m    F7
We want to be your imaginary friend,
    Bm    Bhlfdim7
want to be your imaginary…
--
friend
