[Bb] Step one, you say [Dm] we need to talk
[Bb] He walks, you say sit [Dm] down, [F] it's [Bb] just a talk
He smiles [Dm] politely back at [Bb] you
You stare [Dm] politely right [Bb] on through
Someone's door [Dm] to window [Bb] to your right
As he [Dm] goes left [F] and you [Bb] stay right
Between [Dm] your lines,
[Bb] fear and blame
You begin [Dm] to [Bb] wonder why you [Eb] came, where did I [F] go wrong
A lost [Gm] friend to wear [Bb] alone in a bed of [Eb] death
I was [F] free to do all [Gm] night
And I [Bb] thought I'd save a night
Let him know [Dm] what you know best
[Bb] After all you [Dm] do [F] know [Bb] best
Try to slip [Dm] past his defense
[Bb] Without [Dm] granting his [F]
[Bb] sense
Lay down [Dm] a list of what [Bb] is wrong
Things [Dm] you told him [Bb] all along
Pray to God he [F] hears you
[Gm] And pray to God [F] he hears [Gm] you
[Eb] And where did I [F] go wrong
A lost [Gm] friend to wear [Bb] alone in a bed of [Eb] death
I was free [F] to do all [Gm] night
And I [Bb] thought [F] I'd save [Bb] a night
[F]
[Bb]
She begins [Dm] to raise her voice
[Bb] To lower yours [Dm] and grant him one [Bb] last choice
Drive until [Dm] you lose the road
[Bb] A break with the [Dm] ones to follow
[F]
[Bb] She will [Dm] do one of two [Bb] things
He will admit [Dm] to everything
[Bb] Or he'll say [Dm] she'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
A lost [Gm] friend to wear [Bb] alone in [F] a bed of [Eb] death
I said, how could I [F] stay to you [Gm] all night
