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

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
