G                      D/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Em7                D/F#               G  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             D/F#             Em7  
He smiles politely back at you
             D/F#               G  
You stare politely right on through
               D/F#            Em7  
Some sort of window to your right
             D/F#               G  
As he goes left and you stay right
              D/F#               Em7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  D/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

C                 D                  Em  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G               D/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C                     D                  Em  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             G  *    D/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
G     D/F#     Em7     D/F#  

G                   D/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Em7            D/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
G                    D/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Em7                D/F#  
Without granting innocence
G               D/F#               Em7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             D/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
G                D/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Em7              D/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    C                 D                  Em  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G               D/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C                     D                  Em  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             G       D/F#      G  
Had I known how to save a life
 
G     D/F#     Em7     D/F#  

    G              D/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Em7               D/F#                   G  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 D/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Em7                          D/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
G               D/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Em7                D/F#  
He will admit to everything
G                        D/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Em7              D/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
 
C                 D                  Em  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
