[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][G][Bm]

[Verse 1]
Step [G]one, you say we [Bm]need to talk
He [G]walks, you say sit [Bm]down, it's just a [G]talk
He smiles po[Bm]litely back at you
[G]You stare polit[Bm]ely right on thr[G]ough
Some sort of [Bm]window to your [G]right
As he goes [Bm]left, and you stay [G]right
Between the [Bm]lines of fear and [G]blame
You begin to [Bm]wonder why you came

[Chorus 1]
[C]Where did I go [D]wrong?
I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere a[G]long in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed u[D]p
with you all [Em]night
Had I known [G]how to [D]save a [G]life
[Bm][G][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[G]Let him know that [Bm]you know best
'Cause [Em]after all, you [Bm]do know best
[G]Try to slip past his[Bm] defense
[Em]Without granting in[Bm]nocence
[G]Lay down a lis[Bm]t of what is wro[Em]ng
The things you've [Bm]told him all along
And [G]pray to God he [Bm]hears you
And I [Em]pray to God he [Bm]hears you

[Chorus 2]
And [C]where did I go [D]wrong?
I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere a[G]long in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed u[D]p
with you all [Em]night
Had I known [G]how to [D]save a [G]life
[Bm][Em][Bm]

[Verse 3]
As [G]he begins to [Bm]raise his voice
You [Em]lower yours and [Bm]grant him one last [G]choice
Drive until you [Bm]lose the road
Or [Em]break with the ones you've fol[Bm]lowed
[G]He will do one[Bm] of two things
[Em]He will admit to e[Bm]verything
[G]Or he'll say he's just [Bm]not the same
And [Em]you'll begin to [Bm]wonder why you came

[Chorus 3]
[C]Where did I go [D]wrong?
I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere a[G]long in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed u[D]p
with you all [Em]night
Had I known [G]how to [D]save a life

[Chorus 4]
[C]Where did I go [D]wrong?
I lost a [Em]friend
Somewhere a[G]long in the bit[D]terness
And [C]I would have stayed u[D]p
with you all [Em]night
Had I known [G]how to [D]save a life
