How To Save A Life Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

GStep one you say we nD/F♯eed to talk

 He wEmalks you say sit doDwn it’s jD/F♯ust a taGlk

 He smiles polD/F♯itely back at yEmou

 You stare polDitely riD/F♯ght on thrGough

 Some sort of wiD/F♯ndow to your rEmight

 As he goes leDft and yD/F♯ou stay riGght

 Between the liD/F♯nes of fear and bEmlame

 And you begin to woDnder wD/F♯hy you came

 WhCere did I go wDrong, I lost a frEmiend

 Somewhere alGong in the bitD/F♯terness

 And CI would have stayed Dup with you all nEmight

 Had I known hGow to save a lD/F♯ife

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

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

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

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

This is a tab for that little piano riff that happens periodically thruought the song
