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