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