Normal tuning..CAPO on the 3rd Fret.
Verse 1:
        G               Dsus4/F#
  Step one you say we need to talk

   Em                Dsus4/F#           G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk

              Dsus4/F#         
He smiles politely back at you

 Em            Dsus4/F#          G
You stare politely right on through

               Dsus4/F#
  Some sort of window to your right

Em         Dsus4/F#             G
As he goes left and you stay right

            Dsus4/F#             Em
Between the lines of fear and blame

                 Dsus4/F#     
And you begin to wonder why you came
Chorus:
C                 D
Where did I go wrong

         Em
I lost a friend

           G              D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

    C
And I would have stayed

up with you all night

G                 Dsus4/F#
Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

   G                  Dsus4/F#
  Try to slip past his defense

Em              Dsus4/F#
Without granting innocence

  G           Dsus4/F#           Em
  Lay down a list of what is wrong

                  Dsus4/F#
The things you’ve told him all along

 G              Dsus4/F#
And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

up with you all night

Interlude: G - Dsus4/F# - Em - Dsus4/F# (play this right after that last chords in chorus) Verse 3:
 G
As he begins to 

Dsus4/F#
raise his voice

   Em
You lower yours and 

Dsus4/F#               G
grant him one last choice

                Dsus4/F#
Drive until you lose the 

        Em
road Or break with the 

            Dsus4/F#
ones you’ve followed

  G           Dsus4/F#
  He will do one of two things

Em               Dsus4/F# 
He will admit to everything

G
Or he’ll say he’s 

Dsus4/F#
just not the same

Em
And you’ll begin to 

Dsus4/F#
wonder why you came
