How To Save A Lifev7

How To Save A Life Tab by The Fray

First time at writing down a tab/chords. Let me know where you think I may have gone

I'm sure you will :P

Timming 4/4

I have my guitar dropped one full note so I play this with the Capo on the 5th fret. But

you have standard tuning just stick the capo on the 3rd :)

There is one chord I am not sure of the name I have put as "D(c slidedown 2)"

Basically play a standard C chord but slide it down 2 frets and don't play your bottom E

(the bass E :P )

**UPDATE**

Just noticed once this had been put up that the Dsus4/F# might been a bit confusing if

highlight it. This may be because I can't read music and hence doing it by ear, I may

not named the chord right.

The chord Dsus4/F# is meant to be played as Dsus4 with your thumb (or finger which ever

prefer) on the bass E string, second fret. Hope that makes sense :P

Intro/Bridge 1

Verse 1

Step one you say we need to talk

He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk

He smiles politely back at you

You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right

As he goes left and you stay right

Between the lines of fear and blame

And you begin to wonder why you came

Chorus

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

C D(C slidedown2) Em

And I would have stayed up with you all night

G D G (Dsus4/F# Em Dsus4/F#)

Had I known how to save a life

Bridge 1

Verse 2

Let him know that you know best

Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense

Without granting innocence

Lay down a list of what is wrong

The things you’ve told him all along

And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

Chorus

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

And I would have stayed up with you all night

G D G (Dsus4/F#

Dsus4/F#)

Had I known how to save a life

Bridge 1

Verse 2

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road

Or break with the ones you’ve followed

He will do one of two things

He will admit to everything

Or he’ll say he’s just not the same

And you’ll begin to wonder why you came

Chorus

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life

Chorus

C D(C slidedown 2)Em

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

C D(C slidedown 2) Em

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life
