G5                    D5   
Step one you say we need to talk
    E5                 D5        D5      G5
He walks you say sit down it?s just a talk
             D5              E5
He smiles politely back at you
             D5       D5         G5
You stare politely right on through
               D5             E5
Some sort of window to your right
             D5       D5         G5
As he goes left and you stay right
              D5                E5
Between the lines of fear and blame
                   D5     D5       
And you begin to wonder why you came

  C5             D5                E5
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G5          D5      G5
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C5                   D5                E5
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             G5     D5      G5
Had I known how to save a life



Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you?ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you?ve followed
He will do one of two things 
He will admit to everything
Or he?ll say he?s just not the same
And you?ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
