Here is an acoustic piano and guitar cover of How To Save a Life originally by The Fray. This cover has been performed by "Handsome Alvin" a Brisbane Australia based acoustic covers duo consisting of Vince (vocals, keyboard) and James (guitar).

Lyrics:

Intro (0:00)

Verse 1 (0:08)
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down its 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 (0:42)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life

Verse 2 (1:04)
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defence
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things youve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you and

Chorus (1:35)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life

Verse 3 (1:59)
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 youve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or hell say hes just not the same
And youll begin to wonder why you came

Out Chorus (2:31)
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all
Night, Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life

Hope You Enjoy!!!!
