How To Save A Life By: The Fray

Capo 3Std Tuning

G D/F# Step one you say we need to talk Em D D/F# GHe walks you say sit down it’s just a talk D/F# EmHe smiles politely back at you D D/F# GYou stare politely right on through D/F# EmSome sort of window to your right D D/F# GAs he goes left and you stay right D/F# EmBetween the lines of fear and blame D D/F# And you begin to wonder why you came

C D EmWhere did I go wrong, I lost a friend G D/F#Somewhere along in the bitterness C D EmAnd I would have stayed up with you all night G D/F#Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know bestCause after all you do know bestTry to slip past his defenseWithout granting innocenceLay down a list of what is wrongThe things you’ve told him all alongAnd pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friendSomewhere along in the bitternessAnd I would have stayed up with you all nightHad I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voiceYou lower yours and grant him one last choiceDrive until you lose the roadOr break with the ones you’ve followedHe will do one of two things He will admit to everythingOr he’ll say he’s just not the sameAnd you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friendSomewhere along in the bitternessAnd I would have stayed up with you all nightHad I known how to save a life
