Verse 1:
        G (320003@1)             Dsus4/F#
  Step one you say we need to talk
   Em (022000@1)              Dsus4/F#           GHe (320003@1)walks you say sit down it's just a talk
              Dsus4/F#         
He smiles politely back at you
 Em (022000@1)          Dsus4/F#          GYou (320003@1)stare politely right on through
               Dsus4/F#
  Some sort of window to your right
Em (022000@1)       Dsus4/F#             GAs (320003@1)he goes left and you stay right
            Dsus4/F#             EmBetween (022000@1)the lines of fear and blame
                 Dsus4/F#     
And you begin to wonder why you came


Chorus:
C (x32010@1)               DWhere (xx0232@1)did I go wrong
         EmI (022000@1)lost a friend
           G (320003@1)            DSomewhere (xx0232@1)along in the bitterness
    CAnd (x32010@1)I would have stayed 
 D (xx0232@1)              Emup (022000@1)with you all night
            G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)     G- (320003@1)Dsus4/F# - Em- (022000@1)Dsus4/F#
Had I known how to save a life


Verse 2:
G (320003@1)               Dsus4/F#
Let him know that you know best
      Em (022000@1)              Dsus4/F#
Cause after all you do know best
   G (320003@1)                Dsus4/F#
  Try to slip past his defense
Em (022000@1)            Dsus4/F#
Without granting innocence
  G (320003@1)         Dsus4/F#           Em (022000@1) Lay down a list of what is wrong
                  Dsus4/F#
The things you've told him all along
 G (320003@1)            Dsus4/F#
And pray to God he hears you
   Em (022000@1)            Dsus4/F#
And pray to God he hears you


Chorus:
C (x32010@1)               DWhere (xx0232@1)did I go wrong
         EmI (022000@1)lost a friend
           G (320003@1)            DSomewhere (xx0232@1)along in the bitterness
    CAnd (x32010@1)I would have stayed 
 D (xx0232@1)              Emup (022000@1)with you all night
            G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)     G- (320003@1)Dsus4/F# - Em- (022000@1)Dsus4/F#

Verse 3:
 GAs (320003@1)he begins to 
Dsus4/F#
raise his voice
   EmYou (022000@1)lower yours and 
Dsus4/F#               Ggrant (320003@1)him one last choice
                Dsus4/F#
Drive until you lose the 
        Emroad (022000@1)Or break with the 
            Dsus4/F#
ones you've followed
  G (320003@1)         Dsus4/F#
  He will do one of two things
Em (022000@1)             Dsus4/F# 
He will admit to everything
GOr (320003@1)he'll say he's 
Dsus4/F#
just not the same
EmAnd (022000@1)you'll begin to 
Dsus4/F#
wonder why you came
