A                      E/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    F#m7                E/F#               A  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             E/F#             F#m7  
He smiles politely back at you
             E/F#               A  
You stare politely right on through
               E/F#            F#m7  
Some sort of window to your right
             E/F#               A  
As he goes left and you stay right
              E/F#               F#m7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  E/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

D                 E                  F#m  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            A               E/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    D                     E                  F#m  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             A  *    E/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
A     E/F#     F#m7     E/F#  

A                   E/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       F#m7            E/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
A                    E/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
F#m7                E/F#  
Without granting innocence
A               E/F#               F#m7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             E/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
A                E/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      F#m7              E/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    D                 E                  F#m  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            A               E/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    D                     E                  F#m

A     E/F#     F#m7     E/F#  

    A              E/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    F#m7               E/F#                   A  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 E/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    F#m7                          E/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
A               E/F#  
   He will do one of two things
F#m7                E/F#  
He will admit to everything
A                        E/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     F#m7              E/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
