Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

[B]I lost a [E]friend, like [E]keys in a [C#m]sofa Like a wallet in the back[G#m]seat, like ice in the summer [F#]heat I lost a [E]friend, like sleep on a red-[C#m]eye Like money on a bad [G#m]bet, like time worrying about [B]Every bad thing that hasn’t [F#]happened [E]yet

[E]I know I’ll be alright, [C#m]but I’m not tonight [G#m]I’ll be lying awake counting [F#]all the mistakes I’ve made Replaying [E]fights, I know I’ll be alright, [C#m]but I’m not tonight [G#m] I lost a [B]friend, I lost a friend

I lost my [E]mind, and nobody [C#m]believes me, say, “I know that he don’t [G#m]need me ‘Cause he [B]made a little too much money to be 20 and [E]sad” And I’ll be fine with[C#m]out him, but all I do is write [G#m]about him How the [B]hell did I lose a friend I never [E]had? [Em]Never [B]had

I’m on the [E]mend, like I’m wearing a neck [C#m]brace Like I’m sleeping in my own [G#m]place, like I’m pulling all the stitches out of [F#]my own face I’m on the [E]mend, like I’m icing a new [C#m]sprain Like I’m walking on a new [G#m]cane, like it’s been a couple days Since I [B]slipped and said something sorta like your [E]name

[E]I know I’ll be alright, [C#m]but I’m not tonight [G#m]I’ll be lying awake counting [F#]all the mistakes I’ve made Replaying [E]fights, I know I’ll be alright, [C#m]but I’m not tonight [G#m] I lost a [B]friend, I lost a friend

I lost my [E]mind, and nobody [C#m]believes me, say, “I know that he don’t [G#m]need me ‘Cause he [B]made a little too much money to be 20 and [E]sad” And I’ll be fine with[C#m]out him, but all I do is write [G#m]about him How the [B]hell did I lose a friend I never [E]had?

[E]I’d apologize [C#m]if I thought it might [G#m]make a difference Or [B]make you listen, [E]I’d apologize [C#m]if it was black and white But [G#m]life is different, just [B]try to listen to me [E]now

[E]I know I’ll be alright, [C#m]but I’m not tonight I lost a [B]friend, I lost a friend

I lost my [E]mind, and nobody [C#m]believes me, say, “I know that he don’t [G#m]need me ‘Cause he [B]made a little too much money to be 20 and [E]sad” And I’ll be fine with[C#m]out him, but all I do is write [G#m]about him How the [B]hell did I lose a friend I never [E]had? [Em]Never [B]had
