[Verse 1]
C          Em
 Imaginary friends
          F              G
They will always let you down
C                           Em
And when all the good times end
             F            G
You won't be seeing them around

 
[Chorus]
         Am                   G
For they run where the action is
Em                              F  G
And they'll cross you off their list
       C
Do you comprehend now?
Am            F                   G         C  G
 To imaginary friends, you don't exist, no, no

 
[Verse 2]
C                             Em
 They'll ask you where you've been
          F               G
But never wait for your reply
        C                             Em
They'll meet you when your ship comes in
          F               G
But never meet you eye to eye
 

[Chorus]
           Am                           G
As all the friends who've been real and true
Em                        F  G
Wonder who you're talkin' to
              C
One thing you can depend on
Am         F                       G        C
 Imaginary friends, they can't see you, no, no
 

[Bridge]
Em       F                      C                            Em    A
 You can paint them a beautiful picture but they won't understand, ooh
A7      Dm                            G             Em       F  G
You can count all your friends on the fingers of one scalded hand

[Verse 3]
C          Em
 Imaginary friends
          F                G      
They will always leave you hanging
C  Em       F               G
    And you won't see them again

 
[Chorus]
            Am                    G
For they've gone where the action is
Em                                F  G
And they've crossed you off their list
       C
Do you comprehend now
Am         F                    G     C
 Imaginary friends, they don't exist, no
Em         F                    G             C
 Imaginary friends, they don't exist, no, no, no
Em         F                G    C
 Doo, doo, doo, dooro dooro dooro
Em         F                G    C
 Doo, doo, doo, dooro dooro dooro
Em         F                G
 Doo, doo, doo, dooro dooro dooro
