This video is requested from GuitarTutee.

Standard Tuning:
Capo on 3rd Fret

Verse 1
G D/F#
Step one you say we need to talk
Em D D/F# G
He walks you say sit down it’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

Chorus
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# C
Had I known how to save a life

Verse2:
G D/F#
Let him know that you know best
Em D D/F#
Cause after all you do know best
D/F# Em
Try to slip past his defense
D D/F#
Without granting innocence
D/F# Em
Lay down a list of what is wrong
D D/F# G
The things you’ve told him all along
D/F# Em
And pray to God he hears you
D D/F#
And pray to God he hears you

Chorus
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# C
Had I known how to save a life

Verse 2
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# Em
Drive until you lose the road
D D/F# G
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
D/F# Em
He will do one of two things
D D/F# G
He will admit to everything
D/F# Em
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
D D/F#
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Chorus
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# C
Had I known how to save a life
