I am very new to this thing, so the chords are not in line; so sorry!!!
A
I built a friend,
F#
With three pieces of plastic and a pen,
D
I made him on the table in the den,
A
I gave him my old cellphone for a head,
E
For a head.
A
And we spent,
Holidays in my house,
F#
And we left,
Presents in the stocking,
D
And we bought,
A
Bolts and things and strings and a new watch,
E
That's what he got.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
We had so much fun.
A
Then I left,
For college in September,
F#
And we wept,
Cause we can't be together,
D
So I kept,
A
Pictures to remember my old friend,
E
My old friend.
A
Then I met,
This girl at graduation,
F#
And forget,
My oldest creation
D
And I guess,
I'll see him next vacation,
A
Send my best,
E
I send my best.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We knew we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A E
We had so much fun.
A
I came home,
F#
To find him on the table with a note,
D
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote,
A
That he just wasn't stable all alone,
E
All alone.
A
Next to him,
F#
An empty glass of water that he spilled,
D
All over the body that I built,
A
It fizzled and it popped and then it killed,
E
And then it killed.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We thought we'd be friends forever.
D
And we had so much fun together,
A
We had so much fun.
A
I built a friend.

For me, I think that playing at -2 (capo 2) is an easier variant, with Em instead of E. The best strumming pattern for me is D D UUD DDU twice per chord.
