VERSE 1:
C G/B
Step one you say we need to talk
Am G G/B C
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
G/B Am
He smiles politely back at you
G G/B C
You stare politely right on through
G/B Am
Some sort of window to your right
G G/B C
As he goes left and you stay right
G/B Am
Between the lines of fear and blame
G G/B
And you begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
F G Am
Where did I go wrong I lost a friend
C G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
F G Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
C G
Had I known how to save a life
VERSE 2:
C G/B
Let him know that you know best
Am G G/B C
Cause after all you do know best
G/B Am
Try to slip past his defence
G G/B C
Without granting innocence
G/B Am
Lay down a list of what is wrong
G G/B C
The things you've told him all along
G G/B
And pray to God he hears you
CHORUS:
F G Am
Where did I go wrong I lost a friend
C G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
F G Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
C G
Had I known how to save a life
VERSE 3:
C G/B
As he begins to raise his voice
Am G G/B C
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
G/B Am
Drive until you lose the road
G G/B C
Or break with the ones you've followed
G/B Am
He will do one of two things
G G/B C
He will admit to everything
G/B Am
Or he'll say he's just not the same
G G/B
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
CHORUS:
F G Am
Where did I go wrong I lost a friend
C G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
F G Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
C G
Had I known how to save a life
