[Intro]
Bb Dm Bb Dm
[Verse 1]
Bb Dm
Step one, you say, "We need to talk"
Gm Eb Bb
He walks, you say, "Sit down, it's just a talk"
Dm Gm
He smiles politely back at you
Eb Bb
You stare politely right on through
Dm Gm
Some sort of windows to your right
Eb Bb
As he goes left and you stay right
Dm Gm
Between the lines of fear and blame
Eb
You begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
Eb F Gm
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Bb F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb F Bb Dm Bb Em
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm
Let him know that you know best
Gm Dm
'Cause after all, you do know best
Bb Dm
Try to slip past his defence
Gm Dm
Without granting innocеnce
Bb Dm
Lay down a list of what is wrong
Gm Dm
The things you've told him all along
Bb Dm
And pray to God Hе hears you
Gm Dm
I pray to God He hears you
[Chorus]
Eb F Gm
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Bb F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb F
Had I known how to save a life
[Bridge]
Eb F Gm
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Bb F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb F Bb Dm Bb
Had I known how to save a life
Dm Bb Dm Bb
How to save a life
Dm
Oh, how to save a life
[Chorus]
Eb F Gm
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Bb F
Somewhere along in the bitterness
Eb F Gm
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Bb F Eb F Gm
Had I known how to save a life
Bb F Eb F Gm Bb F
How to save a life
[Outro]
Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb
How to save a life
Dm Bb Dm
How to save a life
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
You begin to wonder why you came
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
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 I pray to God he hears you
And 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
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
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
How to save a life
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
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
How to save a life
How to save a life
