How to Save a Life - The Fray (Rock Cover by Jonathan Young) Chords

_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] Step one, you say [Dm] we need to talk.
[Bb] He walks, you say [Dm] sit down, it's [Bb] just a talk.
He smiles [Dm] politely back [Bb] at you.
You [Dm] stare politely [F] right [Bb] on through.
So [F] the wind goes to [Gm] the right.
_ [F] Seagulls listen, you [Bb] see the light.
Swing [F] the lines of [Gm] fear and blame.
You begin [F] to wonder why [Bb] you came with it.
Are [F] you alone?
I lost [Gm] my friend somewhere [Bb] along [F] in the bitterness.
And I thought I'd [F] save him, but you [Gm] were mine.
And I'd [Bb] _ [F] rather save [Bb] a life.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Let him know [F] that you know [Bb] best.
After all, you [F] do know _ [Bb]
best.
Splash the [F] best things you've found [Bb]
without _ [F] granting the sounds.
[Bb] _
Lay down [F] the rest of what [Bb] is love.
The things [F] you told him all [Bb] along.
Pray to [F] God he hears you.
[Gm] And pray to God [F] he hears you.
[Bb] With the eyes [F] of a lost, I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere _ [Bb] along
in [F] the [Bb] bitterness.
And I thought [F] I'd save him, but you [Gm] were mine.
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] I'd rather save [Bb] a life.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Oh, _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
the sea begins [F] to race his boat.
[Bb]
Lower yours.
[F] _ Ransom one [Bb] last time.
He's driving to [F] you below.
_ [Bb]
Break with the ones [F] you follow.
_ _ [Bb] _
He will [F] do all the [Bb] things.
He will admit [F] to everything.
_ [Bb]
But he'll say [F] he's just not the same.
[Gm] And you'll begin [F] to wonder why you [Bb] came with it.
Are you [F] alone?
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere _ [Bb] along in [F] the bitterness.
[Bb] And I thought I'd [F] save him, but you [Gm] were mine.
And I _ [Bb] thought [F] I'd save [Eb] a life.
_ I thought you [F] were wrong.
I lost [Gm] a friend somewhere [Bb] along in [F] the bitterness.
[Eb]
And I thought I'd [F] save him, but you were [Gm]
mine.
And I [Bb] know how [F] to [Bb] save _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ a life.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
When you say that [F] you're wrong, I [Gm] lost a friend somewhere _ [Bb] along in [F] the bitterness.
[Bb] And I thought I'd [F] save him, but you were [Gm]
mine.
