[Verse]
     A              E           
Step one you say we need to talk
   Gbm7              E                A   
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
          E                   
He smiles politely back at you
Gbm7                               
You stare politely right on through
A            E              Gbm7 
Some sort of window to your right
           A                      
As he goes left and you stay right
            E                 Gbm7 
Between the lines of fear and blame
             A      E           
You begin to wonder why you came


[Chorus]
D                  E    
And where did I go wrong
         Gbm   
I lost a friend
          A            Dbm       
Somewhere along in the bitterness
D                       E               Gbm7 
And I would have stayed up with you all night
                     E      A    Gbm7
Had I'd known how to save a life ■   


[Verse]
A                   E            
■ Let him know that you know best
Gbm7                 A           
'cause after all you do know best
                 E   A      
Try to slip past his defense
Gbm7             E         Gbm7
Without granting innocence ■   
A            E               Gbm7 
■ Lay down a list of what is wrong
                  E                 
The things you've told him all along
    A              E        
And pray to God he hears you
      Gbm7           E        
And I pray to God he hears you


[Chorus]
D                  E    
And where did I go wrong
         Gbm   
I lost a friend
Gbm7      A            Amaj7     
Somewhere along in the bitterness
D                       E               Gbm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
              A      E      A   
Had I'd known how to save a life

[Verse]
A               E              
As he begins to raise his voice
    Gbm7            E                        
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
A               E            
Drive until you lose the road
   Gbm7                               
Or break with the ones you've followed


[Chorus]
A          E                
He will do one of two things
Gbm7                       
He will admit to everything
A                      E           
Or he'll say he's just not the same
Gbm                 E                  
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
D                  E    
And where did I go wrong
         Gbm   
I lost a friend
                       D         
Somewhere along in the bitterness
                 E                  Gbm      
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Gbm7    A            E      
Had I'd known how to save it
D           E       
Where did I go wrong
  Gbm7         
I lost a friend
A                      D         
Somewhere along in the bitterness
                 E                  Gbm7     
And I would have stayed up with you all night
        Gbm   A           E A   
Had I'd known how to save a life
