G                    D/F#
Step one you say we need to talk

    Em7                 D/F#           G
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk

             D/F#           Em7
He smiles politely back at you

             D/F#        G
You stare politely right on through

             Dsus/F#        Em7
Some sort of window to your right

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

            D/F#          Em7
Between the lines of fear and blame

                 D/F#
And you begin to wonder why you came

  C            D           Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

          G            D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

 C                      D(C slidedown2) Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G     D      G    (D/F# Em D/F#)
Had I known how to save a life

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

 Em7                D/F#
Cause after all you do know best

G                D/F#
Try to slip past his defense

     Em7           D/F#
Without granting innocence

G          D/F#        Em7
Lay down a list of what is wrong

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

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

Em7                D/F#
And pray to God he hears you

C              D°          Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

            G               D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

    C                   D           Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G     D°      G     (D/F# D/F#)
Had I known how to save a life

G                D/F#
As he begins to raise his voice

    Em7             D/F#           G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice

                D/F#
Drive until you lose the road

Em7                           D/F#
Or break with the ones you’ve followed

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

Em7              D/F#
He will admit to everything

G                  D/F#
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same

Em7                 D/F#
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

  C             D°           Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

            G              D
