Step one you say we need to talk
    Fm7                D#/F#               G#  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             D#/F#             Fm7  
He smiles politely back at you
             D#/F#               G#  
You stare politely right on through
               D#/F#            Fm7  
Some sort of window to your right
             D#/F#               G#  
As he goes left and you stay right
              D#/F#               Fm7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  D#/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

C#                 D#                  Fm  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G#               D#/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C#                     D#                  Fm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life
 
G#     D#/F#     Fm7     D#/F#  

G#                   D#/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Fm7            D#/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
G#                    D#/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Fm7                D#/F#  
Without granting innocence
G#               D#/F#               Fm7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             D#/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
G#                D#/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Fm7              D#/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you

    G#              D#/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Fm7               D#/F#                   G#  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 D#/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Fm7                          D#/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
G#               D#/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Fm7                D#/F#  
He will admit to everything
G#                        D#/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Fm7              D#/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
