[Verse 1]
B        E
I lost a friend
     E             C#m
Like keys in a sofa
                             G#m
Like a wallet in the backseat
                       F#
Like ice in the summer heat
         E
I lost a friend
                       C#m
Like sleep on a red-eye
                    G#m
Like money on a bad bet
Like time worrying about
B                           F#       E
Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet
[Pre-Chorus]
E                     C#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
G#m                          F#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
          E
Replaying fights
                      C#m                  G#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
             B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
          E                  C#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           G#m
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     C#m
And I'll be fine without him
                       G#m
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E     Em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
      B
Never had
[Verse 2]
           E
I'm on the mend
                             C#m
Like I'm wearing a neck brace
                                G#m
Like I'm sleeping in my own place
                                         F#
Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face
           E
I'm on the mend
                           C#m
Like I'm icing a new sprain
                              G#m
Like I'm walking on a new cane
Like it's been a couple days
        B                                          E
Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name
[Pre-Chorus]
E                     C#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
G#m                          F#
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
          E
Replaying fights
                      C#m                  G#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
              B
I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend
[Chorus]
          E                   C#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           G#m
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     C#m
And I'll be fine without him
                       G#m
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
[Bridge]
E          C#m                      G#m
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference
   B
Or make you listen
E            C#m
I'd apologise if it was black and white
    G#m
But life is different
     B                   E
Just try to listen to me now
[Pre-Chorus]
                      C#m                  G#m
I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight
             B
I lost a friend, I lost a friend
[Chorus]
          E                  C#m
I lost my mind, and nobody believes me
                           G#m
Say, "I know that he don't need me
          B                                         E
'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad"
                     C#m
And I'll be fine without him
                       G#m
But all I do is write about him
        B                                E     Eadd9
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
       B
Never had
