Capo 3 

G D/F# 
Step one you say we need to talk 
Em D D/F# G 
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk 
D/F# Em 
He smiles politely back at you 
D D/F# G 
You stare politely right on through 

D/F# Em 
Some sort of window to your right 
D D/F# G 
As he goes left and you stay right 
D/F# Em 
Between the lines of fear and blame 
D D/F# 
And you begin to wonder why you came 

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

G D/F# 
Let him know that you know best 
Em D D/F# G 
Cause after all you do know best 
D/F# Em 
Try to slip past his defense 
D D/F# G 
Without granting innocence 

D/F# Em 
Lay down a list of what is wrong 
D D/F# G 
The things you’ve told him all along 
D/F# Em 
And pray to God he hears you 
D D/F# 
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend 

C D Em 
Somewhere along in the bitterness 
G D/F# 
And I would have stayed up with you all night 
C D Em 
Had I known how to save a life 
G D/F# 
As he begins to raise his voice 

G D/F# 
You lower yours and grant him one last choice 
Em D D/F# G 
Drive until you lose the road 
D/F# Em 
Or break with the ones you’ve followed 
D D/F# G 
He will do one of two things 

D/F# Em 
He will admit to everything 
D D/F# G 
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same 
D/F# Em 
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came 
D D/F# 
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend 

C D Em 
Somewhere along in the bitterness 
G D/F# 
And I would have stayed up 
C D Em 
With you all night 
G D/F# 
Had I known how to save a life
