The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

  B             C#                D#m
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            F#             C# / F

    B                   C#                D#m

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

  B             C#                D#m
