The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

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

    E                   F#                G#m

             B       F# / A#  B
Had I known how to save a life
