G  D(--0235)  Em2  D/F# (x2)

     G             D(--0235)        Em2                       D/F#                           G
Step one you say we need to talk he walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
                   D(--0235)    Em2                    D/F#            G

He smiles politely back at you, you stare politely right on through
                     D(--0235)        Em                    D/F#                 G
Some sort of window to your right as he goes left and you stay right
                    D(--0235)               Em                               D/F#                  C
Between the lines of fear and blame and you begin to wonder why you came

{Refrain:
  C                    D                   Em7

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
                   G               D/F#  C
Somewhere along in the bitterness
 C                         D                              Em7
And I would have stayed up with you all night
G                  D/F#               G
Had I known how to save a life }

G          D(--0235)               Em2                    D                      G
Let him know that you know best 'cause after all you do know best
                   D(--0235)     Em2      D/F#           G
Try to slip past his defense without granting innocence
                   D(--0235)    Em2                                  D/F#          G
Lay down a list of what is wrong,  the things you've told him all along
                    D(--0235)                Em2                D/F#      C
And pray to God he hears you and pray to God he hears you

 

[REFRAIN] (x2)

G   D   Em   D

G       D(--0235)                           Em2                  D/F#                   G
As he begins to raise his voice you lower yours and grant him one last choice
G         D(--0235)       Em2                           D/F#              G
Drive until you lose the road rr break with the ones you've followed
G             D(--0235)                      Em2      D/F#  G
He will do one of two things he will admit to everything
            D(--0235)               Em                               D/F#                  C
Or he'll say he's just not the same and you'll begin to wonder why you came
