How To Save A Life Ukulele

(ver. 3)
The Fray
Capo on 3


G                        D
Step one, you say, "We need to talk."

    Em                   D                   G
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."

G              D
He smiles politely back at you

Em            D                 G
You stare politely right on through

G                D
Some sort of window to your right

G            D                   Em
As he goes left and you stay right

                D                G
Between the lines of fear and blame

G              D
You begin to wonder why you came



C                D               G
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

            Em           D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

C                        D              Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G        D       G
Had I known how to save a life



G                  D
Let him know that you know best

G                     D
'Cause after all you do know best

Em                    D
Try to slip past his defense

G                   D
Without granting innocence

Em             D           
Lay down a list of what is wrong

Em                  D
The things you've told him all along

Em           D
Pray to God, he hears you

G               D
And I pray to God, he hears you




C                D               G
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

             Em           D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

C                        D              Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G        D       G
Had I known how to save a life




G                        D
As he begins to raise his voice

Em                   D                       Em
You lower yours and grant him one last choice

                  D
Drive until you lose the road

G                             D
Or break with the ones you've followed

Em          D 
He will do one of two things

Em               D
He will admit to everything

Em                     D
Or he'll say he's just not the same

      G               D
And you'll begin to wonder why you came




C                D               G
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

             Em           D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

C                        D              Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G        D       
Had I known how to save a life




C                D               G
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

             Em           D
Somewhere along in the bitterness

C                        D              Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night

             G        D       G
Had I known how to save a life
