The Fray - How To Save A Lifeadd

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

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

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

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

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

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