The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

  F#             G#                A#m
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            C#             G# / C
