[Intro]
G- Dsus4/ F#- Em- Dsus4/F#  
Normal tuning..CAPO on the 3rd Fret.
[Verse 1]
G  Dsus4/F#  
Step one you say we need to talk
Em  Dsus4/ F#  G  
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
Dsus4/ F#  
He smiles politely back at you
Em  Dsus4/ F#  G  
You stare politely right on through
Dsus4/F#  
Some sort of window to your right
Em  Dsus4/ F#  G  
As he goes left and you stay right
Dsus4/ F#  Em  
Between the lines of fear and blame
Dsus4/ F#  
And you begin to wonder why you came
[Chorus]
CWhere did I go wroDng
I lost a Emfriend
Somewhere aGlong in the bitDterness
And CI would have stayed
uDp with you all niEmght
G   D   G- Dsus4/ F#- Em- Dsus4/F#  
Had I known how to save a life
[Verse 2]
G  Dsus4/F#  
Let him know that you know best
Em  Dsus4/F#  
Cause after all you do know best
G  Dsus4/F#  
Try to slip past his defense
Em  Dsus4/F#  
Without granting innocence
G  Dsus4/ F#  Em  
Lay down a list of what is wrong
Dsus4/F#  
The things you’ve told him all along
G  Dsus4/F#  
And pray to God he hears you
Em  Dsus4/F#  
And pray to God he hears you
[Chorus]
CWhere did I go wroDng
I lost a Emfriend
Somewhere aGlong in the bitDterness
And CI would have stayed
uDp with you all niEmght

[Verse 3]
AGs he begins to
Dsus4/F#  
raise his voice
You Emlower yours and
Dsus4/ F#  G  
grant him one last choice
Dsus4/F#  
Drive until you lose the
road Or Embreak with the
Dsus4/F#  
ones you’ve followed
G  Dsus4/F#  
He will do one of two things
Em  Dsus4/ F#  
He will admit to everything
GOr he’ll say he’s
Dsus4/F#  
just not the same
EmAnd you’ll begin to
Dsus4/F#  
wonder why you came
[Chorus]
CWhere did I go wroDng
I lost a Emfriend
Somewhere aGlong in the bitDterness
And CI would have stayed
uDp with you all niEmght
G D C (play the next chord right after this one)
Had I known how to save a life
CWhere did I go wroDng
I lost a Emfriend
Somewhere aGlong in the bitDterness
And CI would have stayed
uDp with you all niEmght
