B E
I lost a friend
E C#m
Like keys in a sofa
Abm
Like a wallet in the back seat
F#
Like ice in the summer heat
E
I lost a friend
C#m
Like sleep on a red-eye
Abm
Like money on a bad bet
Abm
Like time worrying about
B F# E
Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet
E C#m
I know I'll be all right, but I'm not tonight
Abm F#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
E
Replaying fights
C#m Abm
I know I'll be all right, but I'm not tonight
B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
E C#m
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"
C#m
And I'll be fine without 'em
Abm
But all I do is write about 'em
B E Em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
B
Never had
E
I'm on the mend
E
Like I'm wearing a neck brace
C#m
Like I'm sleeping in my own place
Abm F#
Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face
E
I'm on the mend
C#m
Like I'm icing a new sprain
Abm
Like I'm walking on a new cane
Abm
Like it's been a couple days
B E
Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name
E C#m
I know I'll be all right, but I'm not tonight
Abm F#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
E
Replaying fights
C#m Abm
I know I'll be all right, but I'm not tonight

C#m

Abm
But all I do is write about 'em
B E
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
E C#m Abm
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference
B
Or make you listen
E C#m
I'd apologize if it was black and white
Abm
But life is different
B E
Just try to listen to me now
C#m Abm
I know I'll be all right, but I'm not tonight
B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
E C#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
