A#    F/F#    A#    F/F#  

A#                      F/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
    Gm7                F/F#               A#  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             F/F#             Gm7  
He smiles politely back at you
             F/F#               A#  
You stare politely right on through
               F/F#            Gm7  
Some sort of window to your right
             F/F#               A#  
As he goes left and you stay right
              F/F#               Gm7  
Between the lines of fear and blame
                  F/F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came

D#                 F                  Gm  
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            A#               F/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    D#                     F                  Gm  
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             A#  *    F/F#  *
Had I known how to save a life
 
A#     F/F#     Gm7     F/F#  

A#                   F/F#  
Let him know that you know best
       Gm7            F/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
A#                    F/F#  
  Try to slip past his defense
Gm7                F/F#  
Without granting innocence
A#               F/F#               Gm7  
   Lay down a list of what is wrong
             F/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
A#                F/F#  
Pray to God he hears you
      Gm7              F/F#  
And I pray to God he hears you
    D#                 F                  Gm  
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            A#               F/F#  
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    D#                     F                  Gm

A#     F/F#     Gm7     F/F#  

    A#              F/F#  
As he begins to raise his voice
    Gm7               F/F#                   A#  
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                 F/F#  
Drive until you lose the road
    Gm7                          F/F#  
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
A#               F/F#  
   He will do one of two things
Gm7                F/F#  
He will admit to everything
A#                        F/F#  
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
     Gm7              F/F#  
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came
 
D#                 F                  Gm
