[Intro]
A# F Gm F
[Verse]
A# F
Step one you say we need to talk
Gm F A#
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
F Gm
He smiles politely back at you
F A#
You stare politely right on through
F Gm
Some sort of window to your right
F A#
As he goes left and you stay right
F Gm
Between the lines of fear and blame
F
And you begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
D# F Gm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
A# F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
D# F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
A# F A# F Gm F
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse]
A# F
Let him know that you know best
Gm F A#
Cause after all you do know best
F
Try to slip past his defense
Gm F A#
Without granting innocence
F Gm
Lay down a list of what is wrong
F
The things you've told him all along
A# F
And pray to God he hears you
Gm F
And pray to God he hears you
[Chorus]
D# F Gm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
A# F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
D# F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
A# F A# F Gm F
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse]
A# F
As he begins to raise his voice
Gm F A#
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
F
Drive until you lose the road
Gm F A#
Or break with the ones you've followed
F
He will do one of two things
Gm F
He will admit to everything
A# F
Or he'll say he's just not the same
Gm F
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
D# F Gm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
A# F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
D# F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night

Somewhere along in the bitterness

Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

[Chorus]

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
