I Lost a Friend

Tom: C

         F
I lost a friend
                   Dm
Like keys in a sofa
                             Am
Like a wallet in the backseat
                       G
Like ice in the summer heat
         F
I lost a friend
                       Dm
Like sleep on a red eye
                       Am
Like money on a bad bet
                         G                                          
Like time worrying about every bad thing that hasn’t happened yet

[Pre-Chorus]
F                       Dm
  I know I’ll be alright
                   Am  
But I’m not tonight
                             G
I’ll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I’ve made
          F
Replaying fights
                      Dm
I know I’ll be alright
                   Am
But I’m not tonight

[Chorus]
N.C
I lost a friend
          G
I lost a friend
          F
I lost my mind
             Dm
And nobody believes me
                         Am
Say I know that he don’t need me
           G                                             F
‘Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad
                     Dm
And I’ll be fine without them
                       Am
But all I do is write about ‘em
        G                                F     Dm
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
      C      
Never had

[Verse 2]
           F
I’m on the mend
                             Dm
Like I’m wearing a neck brace
                                 Am
Like I’m sleeping at my own place
                                         G
Like I’m pulling all the stitches out of my own face
           F
I’m on the mend
                              Dm
Like I’m an icing a new sprain
                              Am
Like I’m walking on a new cane
                                     G                                          F
Like it’s been a couple days since I slipped and said something sorta like your name

[Pre-Chorus]
F                       Dm
  I know I’ll be alright
                   Am
But I’m not tonight
                             G
I’ll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I’ve made
          F
Replaying fights
                      Dm
I know I’ll be alright
                   Am
But I’m not tonight

[Chorus]
N.C                           G
I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend
          F
I lost my mind
             Dm
And nobody believes me
                         Am
Say I know that he don’t need me
           G                                             F
‘Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad
                    Dm
And I’ll be fine without them
                       Am
But all I do is write about ‘em
        G                                F
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?

[Bridge]
             Dm                     Am                   G
I’d apologize if I thought it might make a difference or make you listen
F              Dm
  I’d apologize if it was black and white
    Am
But life is different
      G                  F
Just try to listen to me now

[Chorus]
F                       Dm
  I know I’ll be alright
                   Am
But I’m not tonight
         G
I lost a friend
N.C
I lost a friend
          F
I lost my mind
             Dm
And nobody believes me
                         Am
Say I know that he don’t need me
          G                                             F
‘Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad
                     Dm
And I’ll be fine without them
                       Am
But all I do is write about ‘em
        G                                F    Dm 
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?

[Outro]
       C
Never had
