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

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

I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference
