I Made Myself A Friend by Joshua Bond
I Made Myself A Friend
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D G D
I made myself a friend, I made him out of twigs and ash and clay
D G D
And sometimes I pretend he says exactly what I'm wanting him to say
Bm D
He always says just what I needed to hear
Bm D
He leans right in close and he whispers in my ear
Bm D
And then suddenly all of my troubles disappear
G D
Because I know the happiest ones had to fight to get there
[Verse 2]
D G D
I made myself a friend, made him out of sawdust and tears
D G D
Sometimes I pretend I've known him for many, many years
Bm D
We talk and reminisce about all the good times we've had
Bm D
I fix him when he crumbles and he calms me when I'm sad
Bm D
And if ever I'm in trouble, if my thinking drives me mad
G D
Well then I'll know I've never been alone, but it sure don't feel that way
[Chorus]
D G D
Well I made myself a friend, made him out of tin cans and wire
D G D
Well I made myself a friend, melted down and forged him in a fire
D G D
Well I made myself a friend, made him out of iron pots and pans
D G D
Well I made myself a friend, made him with my bare goddamn hands
[Verse 3]
D G D
Oh I made myself a friend, I know he isn't real
D G D
Even I cannot pretend you can make love out of steel
Bm D
But something isn't proper, no the metal's gone cold
Bm D
There's green spots in the copper and there's pyrite in the gold
Bm D
If the omnipotent powers choose to let me grow old
G
Well then I'll know the loneliest ones praise the setting sun and I just can't
D
look away
