I Built A Friend
Alec Benjamin
Key : A
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
                A
I built a friend
                                      F#m7
With three pieces of plastic and a pen
                                  D
I made him on the table in the den
                                        A          E
I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head
      A
And we spent holidays at my house
      F#m7
And we    left presents in a stocking
      D
And we bought bolts and things and strings
                A              E
And a new watch, that's what he got

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    D
And we had so much fun together
A                      E
We knew we'd be friends forever
      D
And we had so much fun together
A                 E
We had so much fun

[Verse 2]
---------------------
      A
Then I left for college in September
      F#m7
And we    wept 'cause we can't be together
    Dsus2                                A              E
So I     kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend
      A
Then I met this girl at graduation
          F#m7
And forget    my oldest creation
     Dsus2
And I     guess I'll see him next vacation
       A               E
Send my best, I send my best

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    D
And we had so much fun together
A                       E
We knew we'd be friends f orever
      D
And we had so much fun together
A                 E
We had so much fun

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      A
I came home to find him on the table
            F#m7
With a note,    scribbled out in pencil
      D
And he wrote
                                     A         E
That he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
            A
Next to him, an empty glass of water
       F#m7
That he    spilt
                        D
All over the body that I built
It fizz led and it popped
                   A                  E
And then it killed, and then it killed

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    D
And we had so much fun together
A                         E
We thought we'd be friends forever
      D
And we had so much fun together
A                 E
We had so much fun
I built a friend
