Alec Benjamin – I Built A Friend Ukulele Chords

I built a friend, with three pieces of plastic and a pen,
I made him on the table in the den,
I gave him my old cellphone for a head, for a head.
And we spent holidays in my house, and we left presents in the stocking,
And we bought bolts and things and strings and a new watch, that’s what he got.

And we had so much fun together, we knew we’d be friends forever.
And we had so much fun together, we had so much fun.

Then I left for college in September, and we wept cause we can’t be together
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend.
Then I met this girl at graduation, and forget my oldest creation
And I guess I’ll see him next vacation, send my best, I send my best

And we had so much fun together, we knew we’d be friends forever.
And we had so much fun together, we had so much fun.

I came home to find him on the table with a note
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote
That he just wasn’t stable all alone, all alone.
Next to him, an empty glass of water that he spilled
All over the body that I built,
It fizzled and it popped and then it killed, and then it killed.

And we had so much fun together, we thought we’d be friends forever.
And we had so much fun together, we had so much fun.
I built a friend.
