Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Ste[Em]p one[C], [Em]you say,[C]
[Em]"We need to talk"
He walk[C]s, you say
"Sit [Em]down it's just [C]a talk"
He smiles po[G]litely back at [Em]you[C]
You stare po[G]litely right [C]on through
Some sort of [Em]win dow to your r[Am]ight
As he goes [Em]left and you stay [C]right
Between the [Em]lines of fear and [Am]blame
You begin to [G]wonder why you [C]came

[Verse 2]
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong? I
lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere [C]along in the bit[G]terness
And [F]I would have stayed
[G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known how [C]to save
[G]a life

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em][C][Em]

[Verse 3]
[C]Let him know that [Em]you know best
'Cause after all you do know [C]best
Try [Em]to slip past his defence
Without granting [C]innocence
Lay down a [Em]list of what is [Am]wrong
The things you've [Em]told him [C]all [Em]along
[C]Pray to God, he hears [Em]you
And [Am]pray to God, he [G]hears you

[Verse 4]
And [F]where did I go [G]wrong?
I lost a [Am]friend
Somewhere [C]along in the bit[G]terness
And [F]I would have stayed
[G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known how [C]to save
[G]a life
[C][Em][C]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
As [C]he begins to [Em]raise his voice
You lower yours and grant
him one last [C]choice
Drive un[Em]til you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've fol[G]lowed
[Em]He w[C]ill do one of [Em]two things
[Am]He will admit to e[Em]verything
[C]Or he'll say he's just [Em]not the same
And [Am]you'll begin to [G]won
[Em]der why you [C]came

[Verse 6]
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong? I lost a friend
[Am]Somewhere alon[C]g in the bittern[G]ess
And [F]I would have stayed
[G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known how [C]to save [G]a life
[F]Where did I go [G]wrong? I lost a friend
[Am]Somewhere alon[C]g in the bittern[G]ess
And [F]I would have stayed
[G]up with you all [Am]night
Had I known how [C]to save [G]a life
