[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

[Chorus]
C# D# Fm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life
