Capo 3
Std Tuning

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
            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#
Let him know that you know best
Em                 D        D/F#    G
Cause after all you do know best
            D/F#           Em
Try to slip past his defense
       D       D/F#      G
Without granting innocence
               D/F#          Em
Lay down a list of what is wrong 
             D       D/F#      G
The things you’ve told him all along
D/F#             Em
And pray to God he hears you
              D                 D
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
Em                 D        D/F#    G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
            D/F#           Em
Drive until you lose the road
       D       D/F#      G
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
               D/F#          Em
He will do one of two things 
             D       D/F#      G
He will admit to everything
D/F#             Em
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
                  D     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
