[Intro]
G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Em7 D/F#
G
D/F#
Step one, you say we need
to talk, he walks.
Em7
D/F#
G
You say sit down
it's just a talk.
D/F#
He smiles politely back at you.
Em7
D/F#
You stare politely right on through.
G
D/F#
Some sort of window to your right.
Em7
D/F#
G
As he goes left
and you stay right.
D/F#
Em7
Between the lines
of fear and blame,
D/F#
You begin to wonder why you came.
[Chorus]
Cadd9

Em7
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
G
D
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
Cadd9
D
And I
would have stayed up with you all night
Em7

Had I known how to save a life.

[Verse 2]
G
D/F#
Let him know that you
know best,
Em7
D/F#
'Cause after all you do
know best.
G
D/F#
Try to slip past his
defense,
Em7
D/F#
Without granting innocence.
G
D/F#
Em7
Lay down a list
of what is wrong,
D/F#
Things you told
him all along.
G
D/F#
Pray to God he hears
you,
Em7
D/F#
And pray to God he hears
you.
[Chorus]

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

[Verse 3]
D/F# Em7 D/F#
G
D/F#
As he begins to raise
his voice,
Em7
D/F#
G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
D/F#
Drive until you lose
the road,
Em7
D/F#
Or break with the ones you've followed.
G
D/F#
He will do one
of two things,
Em7
D/F#
He will admit to everything,
G
D/F#
Or he'll say he's just not the same.
Em7
D/F#
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.
[Chorus]
Cadd9
D
Em7
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
