Strumming pattern - Down, down, up, up, Down, Up


Intro - F, G, Am, G


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


CHORUS:

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life


SECOND VERSE:

F                 G
Let him know that you know best
      Am            G            F
Cause after all you do know best
                 G
Try to slip past his defense
Am               G         F
Without granting innocence
           G                     Am
Lay down a list of what is wrong
                  G
The things you've told him all along
    F              G
And pray to God he hears you
    Am             G
And pray to God he hears you


CHORUS:

 F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life


THIRD VERSE:

F   G   Am   G

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


CHORUS:

F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life


CHORUS:

F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life

F  G  Am

G                    F   G   Am
How to save a life
G
How to save a life


CHORUS:

F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life


CHORUS:

F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F             G
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             F        G
Had I known how to save a life

F   G   Am

G               F     G   Am
How to save a life

G               F     G   Am
How to save a life

F   G   Am   G

End on just one strum of G.
