Alec Benjamin - I built a friend

^AI 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 ^Aspent holidays in my house, And we l^F#meft presents in the stocking, And we bou^Dght bolts and things and strings and a new watch^A, That's what he got^E.

^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^AWe knew we'd be ^Efriends forever. ^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^Awe had so much fun^E.

Then I l^Aeft for college in September And we w^F#mept cause we can't be together So I k^Dept pictures to remember my old friend,^A My old fri^Eend. Then I m^Aet this girl at graduation And forg^F#met my oldest creation And I g^Duess I'll see him next vacation Send my ^Abest, I send my ^Ebest

^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^AWe knew we'd be ^Efriends forever. ^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^Awe had so much fun^E.

I came hom^Ae to find him on the table with a n^F#mote Scribbled out in pencil and he wr^Dote That he just wasn't stable all alo^Ane, All alo^Ene. Next to hi^Am, an empty glass of water that he spill^F#med All over the body that I b^Duilt, It fizzled and it popped and then it k^Ailled, And then it kil^Eled.

^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^AWe knew we'd be ^Efriends forever. ^DAnd we had so much fun together, ^Awe had so much fun^E. I built a f^Ariend.
