Verse
G# C#
I lost a friend
C# A#m
Like keys in a sofa
Fm
Like a wallet in the backseat
D#
Like ice in the summer heat
C#
I lost a friend
A#m
Like sleep on a red-eye
Fm
Like money on a bad bet
Like time worrying about
G# D# C#
Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet
[Pre-Chorus]
C# A#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
Fm D#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
C#
Replaying fights
A#m Fm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
G#
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
C# A#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
Fm
Say, "I know that he don't need me
G# C#
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
A#m
And I'll be fine without him
Fm
But all I do is write about him
G# C# C#m
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
G#
Never had
[Verse 2]
C#
I'm on the mend
A#m
Like I'm wearing a neck brace
Fm
Like I'm sleeping in my own place
D#
Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face
C#
I'm on the mend
A#m
Like I'm icing a new sprain
Fm
Like I'm walking on a new cane
Like it's been a couple days
G# C#
Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name
[Pre-Chorus]
C# A#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
Fm D#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
C#
Replaying fights
A#m Fm
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
G#
I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend
[Chorus]
C# A#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me

How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
[Bridge]
C# A#m Fm
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference
G#
Or make you listen
C# A#m
I'd apologise if it was black and white
Fm
But life is different
G# C#
Just try to listen to me now
[Pre-Chorus]

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

I lost a friend, I lost a friend
[Chorus]

I lost my mind, and nobody believes me

And I'll be fine without him

But all I do is write about him
