[C]Step one you say we [G]need to talk
He [Am]walks you say sit [G]down it's just a [C]talk
He smiles po[G]litely back at [Am]you
You stare po[G]litely right on [C]through
Some sort of [G]window to your [Am]right
As he goes [G]left and you stay [C]right
Between the [G]lines of fear and [Am]blame
And you begin to [G]wonder why you came
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong, I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere a[C]long in the bitter[G]ness
And [F]I would have stayed [G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
[C]Let him know that [G]you know best
Cos [Am]after all you do [G]know best [C]
Try to slip p[G]ast his de[Am]fence
Without [G]granting inno[C]cence
Lay down a [G]list of what is [Am]wrong
The things [G]you've [G]told him all [C]along
And pray to God he [G]hears you
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong, I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere a[C]long in the bitter[G]ness
And [F]I would have stayed [G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
[C]As he begins to [G]raise his voice
You [Am]lower yours and [G]grant him one last [C]choice
Drive until [G]you lose the [Am]road
Or break with the [G]ones you've [C]followed
He will do one [G]of two things[Am]
He will admit[G] to everything[C]
Or he'll say h[G]e's just not the[Am] same
And you'll begin to[G] wonder why you came
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong, I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere a[C]long in the bitter[G]ness
And [F]I would have stayed [G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong, I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere a[C]long in the bitter[G]ness
And [F]I would have stayed [G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
[C]how to [G]save a [C]life [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong, I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere a[C]long in the bitter[G]ness
And [F]I would have stayed [G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known [C]how to [G]save a [C]life
