The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

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