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