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 


  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
