Intro]
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
[Verse]
G D/F#
Step one you say we need to talk
Em7 D/F# G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
D/F# Em7
He smiles politely back at you
D G
You stare politely right on through
D/F# Em7
Some sort of window to your right
D/F# G
As he goes left and you stay right
D/F# Em7
Between the lines of fear and blame
D
You begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
C D Em
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em7
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em7 G
[Verse]
G D/F#
Let him know that you know best
Em7 D/F#
'Cause after all you do know best
G D/F#
Try to slip past his defense
Em D
Without granting innocence
G D/F# Em7
Lay down a list of what is wrong
D/F#
Things you’ve told him all along
G D/F#
And pray to God he hears you
Em7 D
And I pray to God he hears you
[Chorus]
C D Em7
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em7
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
[Instrumental]
G D/F# Em7 D/F#
G D/F# Em7 D
[Verse]
G D/F#
As he begins to raise his voice
Em7 D/F# G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
D/F#
Drive until you lose the road
Em7 D
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
G D/F# G/B
He will do one of two things
Em7 D/F#
He will admit to everything
G D/F#
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
Em7 D
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
C D Em7
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G G/B
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F#
Had I known how to save
C D Em7
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G G/B
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em7
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
