D                      A/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Bm7                A/F#               D  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             A/F#             Bm7  
He smiles politely back at you
             A/F#               D  
You stare politely right on through
               A/F#            Bm7  
Some sort of window to your right
             A/F#               D  
As he goes left and you stay right
              A/F#               Bm7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  A/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

G                 A                  Bm  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            D               A/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    G                     A                  Bm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             D  *    A/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
D     A/F#     Bm7     A/F#  

D                   A/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Bm7            A/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
D                    A/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Bm7                A/F#  
Without granting innocence
D               A/F#               Bm7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             A/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
D                A/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Bm7              A/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    G                 A                  Bm  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            D               A/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    G                     A                  Bm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             D       A/F#      D

D     A/F#     Bm7     A/F#  

    D              A/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Bm7               A/F#                   D  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 A/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Bm7                          A/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
D               A/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Bm7                A/F#  
He will admit to everything
D                        A/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Bm7              A/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
 
G                 A                  Bm
