The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

  C             D                Em
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
            G             D / F#
Somewhere along in the bitterness
    C                   D                Em
And I would have stayed up with you all night
             G       D / F#  G
