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

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

C#                   G#/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       A#m7            G#/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
C#                    G#/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
A#m7                G#/F#  
Without granting innocence
C#               G#/F#               A#m7  
   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
      A#m7              G#/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    F#                 G#                  A#m  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C#               G#/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F#                     G#                  A#m

C#     G#/F#     A#m7     G#/F#  

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