The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

C                    G / B
Step one you say we need to talk
    Am                 G        G / B    C
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
             G / B           Am
He smiles politely back at you
             G       G / B      C
You stare politely right on through
               G / B          Am
Some sort of window to your right
             G       G / B      C
As he goes left and you stay right
              G / B             Am
Between the lines of fear and blame
                   G     G / B
And you begin to wonder why you came

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C             G / B
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             C       G / B  C
Had I known how to save a life

C                    G / B
Let him know that you know best
Am                 G        G / B    C
Cause after all you do know best
                 G / B
Try to slip past his defense
Am                G      G / B
Without granting innocence
C             G / B          Am
Lay down a list of what is wrong
             G       G / B      C
The things you’ve told him all along
                G / B
And pray to God he hears you
Am             G     G / B
Pray to God he hears you

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C             G / B
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             C       G / B  C
Had I known how to save a life

C                    G / B
As he begins to raise his voice
Am                 G        G / B         C
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
                G / B
Drive until you lose the road
Am                           G     G / B
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
C              G / B          Am
He will do one of two things
           G       G / B
He will admit to everything
C                G / B
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
Am                  G     G / B
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

  F             G                Am
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C             G / B
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    F                   G                Am
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             C       G / B  C
Had I known how to save a life
