Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

  Step one you say we need to talk

 He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk

 He smiles politely back at you

 You stare politely right on through

  Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

 Between the lines of fear and blame

 And you begin to wonder why you came

Chorus

Where did I go wrong

 I lost a friend

 Somewhere along in the bitterness

 And I would have stayed

 up with you all night

 Had I known how to save a life

Verse 2

Let him know that you know best

 Cause after all you do know best

  Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

  Lay down a list of what is wrong

 The things you’ve told him all along

 And pray to God he hears you

 And pray to God he hears you

Chorus

Where did I go wrong

 I lost a friend

 Somewhere along in the bitterness

 And I would have stayed

 up with you all night

 Had I known how to save a life

Interlude

Verse 3

 As he begins to

raise his voice

 You lower yours and

grant him one last choice

 Drive until you lose the

 road Or break with the

 ones you’ve followed

  He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he’ll say he’s

just not the same

And you’ll begin to

wonder why you came

Chorus

Where did I go wrong

 I lost a friend

 Somewhere along in the bitterness

 And I would have stayed

 up with you all night

 Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong

 I lost a friend

 Somewhere along in the bitterness

 And I would have stayed

 up with you all night

 Had I known how to save a life
