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
