[Verse 1]
BI lost a Efriend
Like Ekeys in a sofaC#m  
Like a wallet in the backseatG#m  
Like ice in the summer F#heat
I lost a Efriend
Like sleep on a red-eyeC#m  
Like money on a bad G#mbet
Like time worrying about
BEvery bad thing that hasn't F#happened Eyet
[Pre-Chorus]
EI know I'll be alrightC#m, but I'm not tonight
G#mI'll be lying awake counting F#all the mistakes I've made
Replaying Efights
I know I'll be alrightC#m, but I'm not tonightG#m  
I lost a frieBnd, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
I lost my Emind, and nobody beC#mlieves me
Say, "I know that he don't G#mneed me
'Cause he Bmade a little too much money to be 20 and Esad"
And I'll be fine withC#mout him
But all I do is write aG#mbout him
How the Bhell did I lose a friend I never Ehad?Em  
Never Bhad
[Verse 2]
I'm on the Emend
Like I'm wearing a neck braceC#m  
Like I'm sleeping in my own placG#me
Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of F#my own face
I'm on the Emend
Like I'm icing a new sprainC#m  
Like I'm walking on a new caneG#m  
Like it's been a couple days
Since I Bslipped and said something sorta like your Ename
[Pre-Chorus]
EI know I'll be alrightC#m, but I'm not tonight
G#mI'll be lying awake counting F#all the mistakes I've made
Replaying Efights
I know I'll be alrightC#m, but I'm not tonightG#m  
I'm on the menBd, but I lost a friend
[Chorus]
I lost my Emind, and nobody belC#mieves me
Say, "I know that he don't G#mneed me
'Cause he Bmade a little too much money to be 20 and Esad"
And I'll be fine withC#mout him
But all I do is write aG#mbout him
How the Bhell did I lose a friend I never Ehad?
[Bridge]
EI'd apologiC#mze if I thought it might G#mmake a difference
Or Bmake you listen
EI'd apologise C#mif it was black and white
But G#mlife is different
Just Btry to listen to me Enow
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'll be alrightC#m, but I'm not tonightG#m  
I lost a frieBnd, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
I lost my Emind, and nobody beC#mlieves me
