[Bb] [Dm]
[Bb] [Dm]
[Bb] Step one, you say [Dm] we need to talk
[Bb] He walks, you say [Dm] sit down, [F] it's [Bb] just a talk
He smiles [Dm] politely back at [Bb] you
You stare [Dm] politely right [Bb] on through
Someone's at [Dm] the window to [Bb] your right
She [Dm] goes left and [Bb] you stay right
Between your lines, you're here to blame
You begin [Dm] to [Bb] wonder why you [Eb] came with it
I [F] go wrong, I lost, [Gm] I ran
Somewhere [Bb] along [F] in the field of [Eb] death
I put out a [F] street up for you [Gm] all night
And I had [Bb] a hard time saving life
Let him know [Dm] what you know best
[Bb] Cause after all you [Dm] do know [Bb] best
Try to slip [Dm] past his defense
[Bb] Without granting [Dm] any sense
[Bb] Lay down [Dm] a list of what [Bb] is wrong
Things [Dm] you told him [Bb] all along
Pray to God [Dm] he [A] hears you
[Gm]
And pray to God he [F] hears [Eb] you
And where did I go [F] wrong?
I lost, [Gm] ran
[Bb] Somewhere along in the field of [Eb] death
I put out a [F] street up for you all [Gm] night
And I had a [Bb] hard time saving life
[F] [Bb]
She begins [Dm] to raise her voice
[Bb] You lower yours, [Dm] you grant him one [Bb] last choice
Drive until you [Dm] lose the road
[Bb]
A break with the ones [Dm] that follow
[Bb] She will [Dm] do one of two [Bb] things
You will admit [Dm] to everything
[Bb] Or she'll say she's [Dm] just [F] not the [Bb] same
And you'll begin [F] to wonder [Bb] why you [Eb] came with it
I go [F] wrong, I lost, [Gm] ran
Somewhere [Bb] along in the [F] field of death
[Eb] I put out a [F] street up for you [Gm] all night
And I had [Bb] a hard [Dm] time saving [Eb] life
Where did I go [F] wrong?
I lost, [Gm] ran
Somewhere [Bb] along in [F] the field of death
[Eb] I put out a street [F] up for you all [Gm] night
And I had a [Bb] hard time saving life
Hard to save life
[F] Hard [Bb]
[F] to [Cm] save [Eb]
life
Where did I go [F] wrong?
I lost, [Gm] ran
Somewhere [Bb] along in the field of death
[Eb] I put out a street [F] up for you all [Gm] night
And I had a hard time [Bb] [Dm] saving [Eb] life
Where did I go [F] wrong?
I lost, [Gm] ran
Somewhere [Bb] along in the field of death
[Eb] I put out a street [F] up for you all [Gm] night
And I had a hard [Dm] time saving [Bb] life
[F] Hard [Bb]
[Dm] to [Bb] save life
[Dm] [F] [Bb]
Hard to save life
[F] [Bb] [Dm] [Bb]
