Capo 3
Intro - G, D/F, Em7, D/F
G Dsus4/F Em7 Dsus4/F G
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
C Dx Em G D/F
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
Break: G / Dsus4/F / Em7 / Dsus4/F
G Dsus4/F Em7 Dsus4/F G
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, and...
C Dx Em G D/F
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
Break: G / Dsus4/F / Em7 / Dsus4/F
G Dsus4/F Em7 Dsus4/F G
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
