I Built A Friend Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

Intro : [A]

[VERSE 1]
[A]I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen[F#m] ,
I made him on the table in the den[D] ,
I gave him my old cellphone for a head[A] ,
For a head[E] .
And we [A]spent holidays in my house,
And we l[F#m]eft presents in the stocking,
And we bou[D]ght bolts and things and strings and a new watch[A] ,
That's what he got[E] .

[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 fun[E] .

[VERSE 2]
Then I l[A]eft for college in September
And we w[F#m]ept cause we can't be together
So I k[D]ept pictures to remember my old friend,[A]
My old fri[E]end.
Then I m[A]et this girl at graduation
And forg[F#m]et my oldest creation
And I g[D]uess 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 fun[E] .

[VERSE 3]
I came hom[A]e to find him on the table with a n[F#m]ote
Scribbled out in pencil and he wr[D]ote
That he just wasn't stable all alo[A]ne,
All alo[E]ne.
Next to hi[A]m, an empty glass of water that he spill[F#m]ed
All over the body that I b[D]uilt,
It fizzled and it popped and then it k[A]illed,
And then it kil[E]led.

[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 fun[E] .
I built a f[A]riend.
