[Intro]
G#  D#  Fm  D#


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


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


[Verse]
G#                 D#
Let him know that you know best
      Fm            D#            G#
Cause after all you do know best
                 D#
Try to slip past his defense
Fm               D#         G#
Without granting innocence
           D#                     Fm
Lay down a list of what is wrong
                  D#
The things you've told him all along
    G#              D#
And pray to God he hears you
    Fm             D#
And pray to God he hears you


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]
D#             G#    D#   Fm
How to save a life
D#
How to save a life


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


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