[Intro]
D#  A#  Cm  A#


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


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


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


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]
A#             D#    A#   Cm
How to save a life
A#
How to save a life


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


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