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

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

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

E     B/F#     C#m7     B/F#  

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