Verse 1:
B        E
I lost a friend
     E             Dbm
Like keys in a sofa
                             Abm
Like a wallet in the backseat
                       Gb
Like ice in the summer heat
         E
I lost a friend
                       Dbm
Like sleep on a red-eye
                    Abm
Like money on a bad bet

Like time worrying about
B                           Gb       E
Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet

Pre-Chorus:
E                     Dbm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
Abm                          Gb
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
          E
Replaying fights
                      Dbm                  Abm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
             B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend

Chorus:
          E                  Dbm
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           Abm
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     Dbm
And I'll be fine without him
                       Abm
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E     Em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
      B
Never had

Verse 2:
           E
I'm on the mend
                             Dbm
Like I'm wearing a neck brace
                                Abm
Like I'm sleeping in my own place
                                         Gb
Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face
           E
I'm on the mend
                           Dbm
Like I'm icing a new sprain
                              Abm
Like I'm walking on a new cane

Like it's been a couple days
        B                                          E
Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name

Pre-Chorus:
E                     Dbm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
Abm                          Gb
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
          E
Replaying fights
                      Dbm                  Abm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
              B
I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend

Chorus:
          E                   Dbm
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           Abm
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     Dbm
And I'll be fine without him
                       Abm
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?

Bridge:
E          Dbm                      Abm
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference
   B
Or make you listen
E            Dbm
I'd apologise if it was black and white
    Abm
But life is different
     B                   E
Just try to listen to me now

Pre-Chorus:
                      Dbm                  Abm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
             B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend

Chorus:
          E                  Dbm
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           Abm
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     Dbm
And I'll be fine without him
                       Abm
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E     Eadd9
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
       B
Never had
