C                      G/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Am7                G/F#               C  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             G/F#             Am7  
He smiles politely back at you
             G/F#               C  
You stare politely right on through
               G/F#            Am7  
Some sort of window to your right
             G/F#               C  
As he goes left and you stay right
              G/F#               Am7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  G/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

F                 G                  Am  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C               G/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                     G                  Am  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             C  *    G/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
C     G/F#     Am7     G/F#  

C                   G/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Am7            G/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
C                    G/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Am7                G/F#  
Without granting innocence
C               G/F#               Am7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             G/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
C                G/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Am7              G/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    F                 G                  Am  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C               G/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                     G                  Am  
And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life
 
C     G/F#     Am7     G/F#  

    C              G/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Am7               G/F#                   C  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 G/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Am7                          G/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
C               G/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Am7                G/F#  
He will admit to everything
C                        G/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Am7              G/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
 
F                 G                  Am  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
