Capo 3
Intro:   G D/F# Em7 D/F# 

 G          D/F#            Em7
Step one you say we need to talk
                   D/F#               G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             D/F#           Em7
He smiles politely back at you
              D/F#                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/F#       
And you begin to wonder why you came

  C             D                Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
             G             D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
     C                      D/F#            Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
              G             D/F#
Had I known how to save a life
  G D/F# Em7 D/F# 

 G                    D/F#
Let him know that you know best
 Em7                D/F#          G
Cause after all you do know best
             D/F#           Em7
Try to slip past his defense
       D/F#                 G
Without granting innocence
                D/F#          Em7
Lay down a list of what is wrong 
             D/F#                 G
The things you’ve told him all along
 D/F#             Em7
And pray to God he hears you
                  D/F#          D/F#
And i’ll pray to god he hears you


  C             D                Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
             G             D/F#
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 a life


 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#           Em7
Drive until you lose the road
      D/F#                  G
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
                D/F#          Em7
He will do one of two things 
             D/F#            G
He will admit to everything
 D/F#             Em7
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
                   D/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came


  C             D                Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
             G             D/F#
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 a life
