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