[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
Some sort of window to your right
She [Dm] goes left and [Bb] you stay right
Between the lines, hair and flame
You begin to wonder why you [Eb] came
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
Somewhere
[Bb] along in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You were [Gm] all night
And I [Bb] don't know how to [F] [Bb] save a life
Let him know [Dm] what you know best
[Gm] Cause after all you [Dm] do know [Bb] best
Try to slip [Dm] past his [Bb] defense
Without granting [Dm] any sense
[Bb] Lay down [Dm] a list [F] of what [Bb] is wrong
The things [Dm] you told him [Bb] all along
Pray to God he [F] hears you
[Gm] And pray to God [Dm] he [F] hears [Eb] you
And where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
[Bb] Somewhere along in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You [Gm] were all night
And I [Bb] don't know how to save a life
[F] She [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb] begins [Dm] to raise his [Bb] voice
You lower yours
[Dm] You grant him one [Bb] last choice
Drive until [Dm] you lose the road
[Bb] Or break with the ones [Dm] that follow
[Bb] He will [Dm] do one of two [Bb] things
He will admit [Dm] to everything
[Bb] Or he'll say [Dm] he's just [F] not the [Bb] same
And you'll begin [F] to wonder [Bb] why you [Eb] came
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
Somewhere
[Bb] along [F] in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You [Gm] were all night
And I don't know how [Bb] to save [Eb] a life
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
Somewhere [Bb] along in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You were [Gm] all night
And I don't know [Bb] how to save a [Dm] life
How [Bb]
[Dm] to save [Bb] a life
[F] [Bb] How
[Cm] to [Eb] save a life
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
Somewhere [Bb] along in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You were [Gm] all night
And I [Bb] don't know how [Dm] to save a [Eb] life
Where did I [F] go wrong?
I lost [Gm] my mind
Somewhere [Bb] along in the bitter [Eb] depths
And I pulled out [F] straight up
You were [Gm] all night
And I don't know how [Dm] to [Bb] save a life
How to save a life
[Dm] [F] How [Bb]
to save a life
[Dm] [Bb]
