[G]Step one you say we n[D/F#]need to talk

And you begin to wo[D]wonder w[D/F#]why you came
[Chorus]
Wh[C]ere did I go w[D]rong, I lost a fr[Em]iend
Somewhere al[G]along in the bit[D/F#]bitterness

[Verse]
As h[G]he begins to r[D/F#]raise his voice
You l[Em]ower yours and g[D]rant him[D/F#] one last choi[G]ce
Drive until you l[D/F#]lose the road
Or b[Em]reak with the o[D]nes you’ve f[D/F#]ollowed
[G] He will do [D/F#]one of two things
[Em]He will admit [D]to e[D/F#]everything
[G]Or he’ll say he’s just [D/F#]not the same
And y[Em]you’ll begin to [D/F#]wonder why you came
[Chorus]
Wh[C]ere did I go w[D]rong, I lost a fr[Em]iend
Somewhere al[G]along in the bit[D/F#]bitterness
