Chords with lyrics

Capo 3
Std Tuning

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

 C majorC       D MajorD        E minorEm
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
      G+G     D MajorD   G+G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
  C majorC          D MajorD        E minorEm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
       G+G   D MajorD   G+G
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
