Verse:
GD
Step one you say we need to talk
EmDDG
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
DEm
He smiles politely back at you
DDG
You stare politely right on through
DEm
Some sort of window to your right
DDG
As he goes left and you stay right
DEm
Between the lines of fear and blame
DD
And you begin to wonder why you came
Chorus:
CDEm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
GD
Somewhere along in the bitterness
CDEm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
GDG
Had I known how to save a life
Interldue: DEmDVerse:
GD
Let him know that you know best
EmDD
Cause after all you do know best
GD
Try to slip past his defense
EmDD
Without granting innocence
GDEm
Lay down a list of what is wrong
DD
The things you’ve told him all along
GD
And pray to God he hears you
EmDD
And pray to God he hears you
Chorus:
CDEm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
GD
Somewhere along in the bitterness
CDEm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
GDG
Had I known how to save a life
Interlude: DEmDVerse:
GD
As he begins to raise his voice
EmDDG
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
D
Drive until you lose the road
EmDD
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
GD
He will do one of two things
EmDD
He will admit to everything
GD
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
EmD
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
Chorus: -x2-
CDEm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
GD
Somewhere along in the bitterness
CDEm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
GDG
Had I known how to save a life
