VERSE 1

Bb                  F
Step one, you say, we need to talk
 Gm                   F                  Bb
He walks; you say, sit down, it's just a talk
Bb         F                  Gm
He smiles politely back at you
        F                    Bb
You stare politely right on through
Bb           F              Gm
Some sort of window to your right
           F
As he goes left
             Bb                F
And you stay right between the lines
            Gm
Of fear and blame
                F                              
And you begin to wonder why you came

CHORUS

Eb            F
Where did I go wrong?
        Gm
I lost a friend
          F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
   Eb                  F
And I would have stayed up
             Gm
With you, all night
Gm
Had I known 
F              Bb
How to save a life
