How To Save A Life - The Fray | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
A# | F/A 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Gm7 F/A         A#              F/A
        Step one, you say we need    to talk, he walks.
Gm7                F/A                 A#
   You say sit down    it's just a talk.
                F/A
He smiles politely back at you.
Gm7                F/A
   You stare politely right on through.
A#               F/A
 Some sort of window to your right.
Gm7               F/A                   A#
   As he goes left    and you stay right.
                 F/A                  Gm7
Between the lines    of fear and blame,
                F/A
You begin to wonder why you came.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D#add9               F               Gm7
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
               A#         F
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
    D#add9                   F
And I    would have stayed up with you all night
Gm7            A#         F       A#
   Had I known how to save a life.

[Pre-Verse]
---------------------
F/A | Gm7 | F/A 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A#                   F/A
Let him know that you    know best,
       Gm7             F/A
'Cause after all you do    know best.
A#                   F/A
 Try to slip past his    defense,
Gm7                F/A
Without granting innocence.
A#              F/A                 Gm7
 Lay down a list    of what is wrong,
               F/A
Things you told    him all along.
A#                  F/A
Pray to God he hears    you,
    Gm7                 F/A
And pray to God he hears    you.



[Verse 3]
---------------------
F/A Gm7 F/A   A#                F/A
             As he begins to raise    his voice,
    Gm7             F/A                      A#
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
                    F/A
Drive until you lose    the road,
   Gm7                           F/A
Or break with the ones you've followed.
A#             F/A
 He will do one    of two things,
Gm7               F/A
He will admit to everything,
A#                     F/A
Or he'll say he's just not the same.
    Gm7                F/A
And you'll begin to wonder why you came.

[Chorus (2)]

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
               A#         F
Somewhere along in the bitterness.
    D#add9                   F
And I    would have stayed up with you all night
Gm7            A#         F
   Had I known how to save a life.
D#add9               F               Gm7

Somewhere along in the bitterness.
    D#add9                   F
And I    would have stayed up with you all night
Gm7            A#         F       A#
   Had I known how to save a life.
