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

Chorus:
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Bb chordBb F chordF
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb chordBb F chordF
Had I known how to save a life

Verse -same as first-:
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Chorus:
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Bb chordBb F chordF
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb chordBb F chordF
Had I known how to save a life

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

Chorus:
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Bb chordBb F chordF
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb chordEb F chordF Gm chordGm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb chordBb F chordF
Had I known how to save a life
