The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

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