F                      C/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Dm7                C/F#               F  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             C/F#             Dm7  
He smiles politely back at you
             C/F#               F  
You stare politely right on through
               C/F#            Dm7  
Some sort of window to your right
             C/F#               F  
As he goes left and you stay right
              C/F#               Dm7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  C/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

A#                 C                  Dm  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F               C/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    A#                     C                  Dm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F  *    C/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
F     C/F#     Dm7     C/F#  

F                   C/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Dm7            C/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
F                    C/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Dm7                C/F#  
Without granting innocence
F               C/F#               Dm7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             C/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
F                C/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Dm7              C/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    A#                 C                  Dm  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F               C/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    A#                     C                  Dm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F       C/F#      F  
Had I known how to save a life
 
F     C/F#     Dm7     C/F#  

    F              C/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Dm7               C/F#                   F  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 C/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Dm7                          C/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
F               C/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Dm7                C/F#  
He will admit to everything
F                        C/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Dm7              C/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
