Introdução: G D/F# G Bm
G D/F#
Step one you say we need to talk
Em D D/F# G
He walks you say sit down it&rsquo s just a talk
D/F# Em
He smiles politely back at you
D D/F# G
You stare politely right on through
D/F# Em
Some sort of window to your right
D D/F# G
As he goes left and you stay right
D/F# Em
Between the lines of fear and blame
D D/F#
And you begin to wonder why you came
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
D Em D
G D/F#
Let him know that you know best
Em D D/F#
Cause after all you do know best
G D/F#
Try to slip past his defense
Em D D/F#
Without granting innocence
G D/F# Em
Lay down a list of what is wrong
D D/F#
The things you&rsquo ve told him all along
G D/F#
Pray to God he hears you
Em D D/F#
And I pray to God he hears you
C D Em
And where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
D Em D
G D/F#
As he begins to raise his voice
Em D D/F# G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
D/F#
Drive until you lose the road
Em D D/F#
Or break with the ones you&rsquo ve followed
G D/F#
He will do one of two things
Em D D/F#
He will admit to everything
G D/F#
Or he&rsquo ll say he&rsquo s just not the same
Em D/F#
And you&rsquo ll begin to wonder why you came
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F#
Had I known how to save a life
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
C D Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G D/F# G
Had I known how to save a life
D G D/F# G
How to save a life
D G D/F#
How to save a life
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G D/F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness

Had I known how to save a life
C D Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
