B                      F#/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    G#m7                F#/F#               B  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             F#/F#             G#m7  
He smiles politely back at you
             F#/F#               B  
You stare politely right on through
               F#/F#            G#m7  
Some sort of window to your right
             F#/F#               B  
As he goes left and you stay right
              F#/F#               G#m7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  F#/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

E                 F#                  G#m  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            B               F#/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    E                     F#                  G#m  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             B  *    F#/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
B     F#/F#     G#m7     F#/F#  

B                   F#/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       G#m7            F#/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
B                    F#/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
G#m7                F#/F#  
Without granting innocence
B               F#/F#               G#m7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             F#/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
B                F#/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      G#m7              F#/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    E                 F#                  G#m  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            B               F#/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    E                     F#                  G#m  
And I would have stayed up with you all night

B     F#/F#     G#m7     F#/F#  

    B              F#/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    G#m7               F#/F#                   B  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 F#/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    G#m7                          F#/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
B               F#/F#  
   He will do one of two things
G#m7                F#/F#  
He will admit to everything
B                        F#/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     G#m7              F#/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
