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