[C] [Em]
[C] [Em]
[C] Step one, you say [Em] we need to talk
[C] He walks, you say sit [Em] down, it's [C] just a talk
He smiles [Em] politely back at [C] you
You stare [Em] politely right [C] on through
Some sort [Em] of window to your [Am] right
His [Em] ego's left and you stay [C] right
Between [Em] the lines of fear [Am] and blame
You begin [G] to wonder why you [F] change
Where did I go [G] wrong?
I lost [Am] a friend somewhere [C] along [G] in bitterness
[F] And I would have [G] stayed up with you [Am] all night
And I know [C] how [G] to save a [C] life
[Em]
[C] [Em]
[C] Let him know [Em] that you know best
[A] After [Em] all, you do know best
[C] Try to slip [Em] past his defense
[A] Without [Em] granting innocence
[C] Lay down [G] a list of what [Am] is wrong
The things [Em] you've told him all [C] along
Pray to God [Em] he hears you
[Am] And pray to God he [G] hears [F] you
Where did I [G] go wrong?
I lost [Am] a friend somewhere [C] along [G] in bitterness
[F] And I would have [G] stayed up with you [Am] all night
And I [C] know how [G] to save a [C] life
[Em]
[C] [Em]
[C] As he begins [Em] to raise his voice
[A] You lower [Em] yours and grant him one [C] last choice
Drive [Em] until you lose the road
[A] Or break with the [G] ones you follow
[C] He will [G] do one of two [Am] things
He will admit [Em] to everything
[C] Or he'll say [Em] he's just not the same
[Am] And you'll begin [Em] to wonder why you [F] change
Where did I [G] go wrong?
I lost [Am] a friend somewhere [C] along in [G]
bitterness
[F] And I would have [G] stayed up with you [Am] all night
And I know [C] how [G] to save [F] a life
Where did I [G] go wrong?
I lost [Am] a friend somewhere [C] along in [G]
bitterness
[F] And I would have [G] stayed up with you [Am] all night
And I know [C] how to [G] save a life
