Verse 1:
G Dsus4/F#
Step one you say we need to talk

He walks you say sit down it�s just a talk
Dsus4/F#
He smiles politely back at you
Em Dsus4/F# G
You stare politely right on through
Dsus4/F#
Some sort of window to your right
Em Dsus4/F# G
As he goes left and you stay right
Dsus4/F# Em
Between the lines of fear and blame
Dsus4/F#
And you begin to wonder why you came
Chorus:
C D
Where did I go wrong
Em
I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness
C
And I would have stayed

up with you all night

Let him know that you know best
Em Dsus4/F#
Cause after all you do know best
G Dsus4/F#
Try to slip past his defense
Em Dsus4/F#
Without granting innocence
G Dsus4/F# Em
Lay down a list of what is wrong
Dsus4/F#
The things you�ve told him all along

G
As he begins to
Dsus4/F#
raise his voice
Em
You lower yours and
Dsus4/F# G
grant him one last choice
Dsus4/F#
Drive until you lose the
Em
road Or break with the
Dsus4/F#
ones you�ve followed
G Dsus4/F#
He will do one of two things
Em Dsus4/F#
He will admit to everything

Dsus4/F#
wonder why you came
