Verse
B E
I lost a friend
E C#m
Like keys in a sofa
G#m
Like a wallet in the backseat
F#
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
Like time worrying about
B F# E
Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet
[Pre-Chorus]
E C#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
G#m F#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
E
Replaying fights
C#m G#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
E C#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
G#m
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 him
G#m
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
C#m
Like I'm wearing a neck brace
G#m
Like I'm sleeping in my own place
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
G#m
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]

I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight

I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made

[Bridge]
E C#m G#m
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference

Just try to listen to me now
