I Built A Friend Chords by Alec Benjamin

[Start]

[Verse]
A                 
■ I built a friend
                                 F#m  
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
                         F#m    
Holidays in my house and we left
                           D        
Presents in a stocking and we bought


[Chorus]
                                   A        
Bolts and things and strings and a new watch
            E     
That's what he got
D                              
And we had so much fun together
A                              
We knew we'd be friends forever
D                              
And we had so much fun together
A              E  
We had so much fun
A          
Then I left
                             F#m7   
For college in September and we wept
                               F#m D   
'cause we can't be together so I   kept
                     A             E            
Pictures to remember my old friend my old friend
A         
Then I met


[Verse]
                        F#m7      
This girl at graduation and forget
                       D      
My oldest creation and I guess
                                A      
I'll see him next vacation send my best
       E      
I send my best


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


[Bridge]
A          
I came home
                                F#m 
To find him on the table with a note
                            D       
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote
                               A     E        
That he just wasn't stable all alone all alone
A          
Next to him
                             F#m       
An empty glass of water that he spilled
                       D      
All over the body that I built
                                     A     
It fizzled and it popped and then it killed
         E        
And then it killed


[Chorus]
D                      Esus4   
And we had so much fun together
A                                 
We thought we'd be friends forever
D                      A       
And we had so much fun together
               E  
We had so much fun
        A       
I built a friend
