E I lost a friend C#m Like keys in a sofa G#m Like a wallet in the backseat B Like ice in the summer heat E I lost a friend C#m Like sleep on a red eye G#m Like money on a bad bet B Like time worrying about every bad thing that hasn’t happened yet E C#m I know I’ll be alright G#m But I’m not tonight B I’ll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I’ve made E Replaying fights C#m I know I’ll be alright G#m But I’m not tonight Chorus: B I lost a friend I lost a friend E I lost my mind C#m And nobody believes me G#m Say I know that he don’t need me B ‘Cause he made a little too much money E to be twenty and sad C#m And I’ll be fine without them G#m But all I do is write about ‘em B How the hell did I lose E Em a friend I never had? B Never had I'm on the mend Like I'm wearing a neck brace Like I'm sleeping at my own place Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face I'm on the mend Like I'm icing a new sprain Like I'm walking on a new cane Like it's been a couple days Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made Replaying fights I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend Chorus: I lost my mind, and nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad" And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about him How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? E C#m G#m I’d apologize if I thought it might make B a difference or make you listen E C#m I’d apologize if it was black and white G#m But life is different B E Just try to listen to me now Chorus: I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I lost a friend, I lost a friend I lost my mind, and nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad" And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about him How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
