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

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
