G D/F#
Step one you say we need to talk
Em D D/F# G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
D/F# Em
He smiles politely back at you
D D/F# G
You stare politely right on through
D/F# Em
Some sort of window to your right
D D/F# G
As he goes left and you stay right
D/F# Em
Between the lines of fear and blame
D D/F#
And you begin to wonder why you came
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life

G D/F#
Let him know that you know best
Em D D/F# G
Cause after all you do know best
G D/F#
Try to slip past his defense
Em D D/F#
Without granting innocence
G D/F# Em
Lay down a list of what is wrong
D D/F#
The things you’ve told him all along
G D/F#
And pray to God he hears you
Em D D/F# G
And pray to God he hears you
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D D/F#
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness
