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.
