[Verse 1]
[G]Ste[D]p o[Bm]ne,[G][Bm][G]
you say we [D]need to [Bm]talk
He walk[G]s, you say sit [D]down,
[Bm]it's just [G]a talk
He smiles po[D]litely [Bm]back at you[G]
You stare po[D]litely [Bm]right[D] on through
[G]Some sort of win[D]dow to you[G]r right
As he goes [D]left and you stay [G]right
Between the [D]lines of fear [G]and blame
You begin to [D]wonder why you came

[C]Where did I go [D]wrong? I lost

Had I known [G]how to save
[D]a life

[G]Let him know that [D]you [Bm]know best
[D]'Cause aft[Em]er all, you do [D]kno[Bm]w bes[G]t
Try to slip past [D]his [Bm]defense
[Em]Without granting in[D]no [Bm]cence[G]
Lay down a [D]list of what is [Em]wrong
The things [D]you've told [Bm]him all along
[G]I pray to God, he hears [D]you
[G]And I [Em]pray to God, he [D]hears you
An[G]d

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