[Dm]
[Bb] [Dm]
[Bb] Step one, you say [Dm] we need to talk
[Bb] He walks, you say sit [Dm] down, [F] it's just [Bb] a talk
He smiles [Dm] politely back at [Bb] you
You stare [Dm] politely right on [Bb] through
Someone's towing a window to your right
She [Dm] goes left and you stay right
Between the lines, fear and blame
You begin to [Bb] wonder why you [Eb] came where
Did I go [F] wrong, I lost [Gm] the man
To wear [Bb] a long in the bed I'm [Eb] dancing
I put out [F] speed up for you [Gm] all night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a life
Let him know [Am] what you know best
[Gm] Cause after all you [Am] do know [Bb] best
Try to slip [Am] past his defense
[Gm] Without granting [Am] innocence
[Bb] Lay down [Am] a list of what [Gm] is wrong
The things [Dm] I told him all along
Pray to God he [F] hears you
[Gm]
And pray to God [Am] he hears you
[Eb] And where did I go [F] wrong, I lost [Gm] the man
To wear [Bb] a long in the bed I'm [Eb] dancing
I put out [F] speed up for you [Gm] all night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a life
[Am]
[Gm] [Bb]
She begins [Am] to raise his voice
[Gm] You lower yours, [Dm] you grant [Am] him one [Bb] last choice
Drive until you [Am] lose the road
[Gm] A break with the one [Am] to follow
[Bb] She will do [Dm] one of two [Gm] things
You admit [Dm] to everything
[Bb] Or he'll say he's just [F] not the same
[Gm] And you begin [F] to wonder [Bb] why you [Eb] came where
Did I go [F] wrong, I lost [Gm] the man
To wear [Bb] a long in [F] the bed I'm [Eb] dancing
I put out [F] speed up for you [Gm] all night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a [Eb] life
Where did I go [F] wrong, I lost the [Gm] man
To wear a [Bb] long in the bed I'm [Eb] dancing
I put out speed [F] up for you all [Gm] night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a life
How to save a life
[F] [Bb]
How to save [Eb] a life
Where did I go [F] wrong, I lost [Gm] the man
To wear [Bb] a long in the bed I'm dancing
[Eb] I put out [F] speed up for you all [Gm] night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a [Eb] life
Where did I go [F] wrong, I lost [Gm] the man
To wear a [Bb] long in the bed I'm [Eb] dancing
I put out speed [F] up for you all [Gm] night
And I [Bb] don't know how [Dm] to save [Bb] a life
How to save a life
[F] How [Bb]
to save a life
[Dm] [Am]
