[Intro]
D# A#/D D# A#/D
[Verse 1]
D# A#/D
Step one you say we need to talk
Cm7 A#/D D#
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
A#/D Cm7
He smiles politely back at you
A#/D D#
You stare politely right on through
A#/D Cm7
Some sort of window to your right
A#/D D#
As he goes left and you stay right
A#/D Cm7
Between the lines of fear and blame
A#/D
And you begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D#* A#/D*
Had I known how to save a life
[Instrumental]
D# A#/D Cm7 A#/D
[Verse 2]
D# A#/D
Let him know that you know best
Cm7 A#/D
Cause after all you do know best
D# A#/D
Try to slip past his defense
Cm7 A#/D
Without granting innocence
D# A#/D Cm7
Lay down a list of what is wrong
A#/D
The things you've told him all along
D# A#/D
Pray to God he hears you
Cm7 A#/D
And I pray to God he hears you
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D# A#/D D#
Had I known how to save a life
[Instrumental]
D# A#/D Cm7 A#/D
[Verse 3]
D# A#/D
As he begins to raise his voice
Cm7 A#/D D#
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
A#/D
Drive until you lose the road
Cm7 A#/D
Or break with the ones you've followed
D# A#/D
He will do one of two things
Cm7 A#/D
He will admit to everything
D# A#/D
Or he'll say he's just not the same
Cm7 A#/D
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D# A#/D
Had I known how to save a life
G# A# Cm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D# A#/D D#
Had I known how to save a life
[Interlude]
A#/D Cm7 A#/D D#
How to save a life
A#/D Cm7 A#/D
How to save a life
[Chorus]
G# A# Cm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D# A#/D
Had I known how to save a life
G# A# Cm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
D# A#/D
Somewhere along in the bitterness
G# A# Cm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
D#* A#/D* D#
Had I known how to save a life
[Outro]
D# A#/D Cm7 A#/D D#
How to save a life
A#/D Cm7 A#/D D#
How to save a life
A#/D Cm7 A#/D D#*
