[Bb] [Dm]
[Bb] [Dm]
Step [Bb] one, you say [F] we need to [Dm] talk, he walks, [F] you say sit down, [Dm] it's [Bb] just a talk
He smiles [Dm] politely back at you, you stare politely right [Bb] on through
Someone's throwing a window to your right, she [Dm] goes left and [Bb] you say right
Twanging [Dm] her lines,
[Bb] fear and blame, you begin [Dm] to wonder why you [Eb] came
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along [F] in a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out [F] straight up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't wanna say goodnight
Let him know what [Dm] you know best, [Gm] cause after all you [Dm] do know [Bb] best
Try to slip [Dm] past his defense, [Gm] without [Dm] granting his sense
[Bb] Lay down [Dm] a list [Bb] of what is wrong, [Dm] think it's all been [Bb] more than long
I pray to God he hears you, [Gm] I pray to God [F] he hears [Eb]
you
And where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [F] along in a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out [F] straight up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't wanna [F]
say [Bb] goodnight
[Dm] She
[Gm] [Bb]
begins [Dm] to raise his voice, [Gm] you lower yours, and grant [Dm] him one [Bb] last choice
Drive until you [Dm] lose the road, [Gm] a break with the ones [Dm] that follow
[Bb] He will [F] do one of two [Gm] things, he will admit [Bb] to [F]
everything
[Bb] Or he'll say [Dm] he's just not the same, [Gm] and you'll begin [Am] to wonder why you [Eb] came
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along in [F] a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out [F] straight up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't wanna [Dm]
say [Eb] goodnight
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along [F] in a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out [F] straight up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't know how [Am] to save [Bb] a life
How to save a life, [Eb]
[Bb] how to save a [Eb] life
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along in a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out [F] straight up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't know [Am] how to save a [Eb] life
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along in a bed of [Eb] death
And I put out straight [F] up the funeral [Gm] night, and I [Bb] don't know how [Am] to save [Bb] a life
[Dm]
[Bb] How to save a life, [Dm]
[Bb] how to save a life
[Dm] [Bb] [Dm]
