Strumming pattern - Down, down, up, up, Down, Up
Intro - G, D, Em, D
Step [G]one you say we n[D]eed to talk
He w[Em]alks you say sit do[D]wn it?s just a tal[G]k
He smiles pol[D]itely back at yo[Em]u
You stare pol[D]itely right on thr[G]ough
Some sort of wi[D]ndow to your r[Em]ight
As he goes le[D]ft and you stay ri[G]ght
Between the li[D]nes of fear and b[Em]lame
And you begin to wo[D]nder why you came
CHORUS:
Wh[C]ere did I go w[D]rong, I lost a fr[Em]iend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
SECOND VERSE:
[G]Let him know that [D]you know best
Cause [Em]after all you [D]do know best[G]
Try to slip past [D]his defense
[Em]Without granting [D]innocence[G]
Lay down a [D]list of what is wrong[Em]
The things you've [D]told him all along
And [G]pray to God he [D]hears you
And [Em]pray to God he [D]hears you
CHORUS:
W[C]here did I go [D]wrong, I lost a f[Em]riend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
THIRD VERSE:
[G] [D] [Em] [D]
[G]As he begins to rai[D]se his voice
You [Em]lower yours and [D]grant him one last choice[G]
Drive until you [D]lose the road
Or [Em]break with the ones you've [D]followed[G]
He will do [D]one of two things
[Em]He will admit to [D]everything
[G]Or he'll say he's just [D]not the same
And [Em]you'll begin to wo[D]nder why you came
CHORUS:
[C]Where did I go[D] wrong, I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
CHORUS:
[C]Where did I go[D] wrong, I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
[G] [D] [Em]

CHORUS:
[C]Where did I go[D] wrong, I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
CHORUS:
[C]Where did I go[D] wrong, I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere al[G]ong in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed [D]up with you all n[Em]ight
Had I known h[G]ow to sav[D]e a life
[G] [D] [Em]
