        Em  C  D

G            Bm       Em
  I will not make the same mistakes
That you did
D    G          Bm
I       will not let myself
Em                              D
Cause my heart so much misery
G             Bm        Em
   I will not break the way you did
             D
You fell so hard
G                   Bm
   I've learned the hard way
   Em                       D
To never let it get that far
            Em
Because of you
          C                     D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            Em
Because of you
                          C
I learned to play on the safe side so I
D             B
Don't get hurt
            Am
Because of you
                   G/B              D
I find it hard to trust not only me, but
           B
Everyone around me
            C
Because of you
          D
I am afraid
G          Bm
 I lose my way
         Em                      D
And it's not too long before you point it out
G            Bm
    I cannot cry
   Em                           D
Because you know that's weakness in your
G
Eyes
              Bm
I'm forced to fake
  Em                   D           G
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
               Bm
My heart can't possibly break
 Em                            D
When it wasn't even whole to start with
            Em
Because of you
          C                     D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            Em
Because of you
                          C
I learned to play on the safe side so I
D             B
Don't get hurt
            Am
Because of you
                   G/B              D
I find it hard to trust not only me, but
           B
Everyone around me
            C
Because of you
          D
I am afraid
              Bm
I watched you die
             Em                   D
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
          Bm
I was so young
                 Em
You should have known
                D
Better than to lean on me
           Bm                Em
You never thought of anyone else
              D
You just saw your pain
          Bm                        Em
And now I cry in the middle of the night
        D
For the same damn thing
            Em
Because of you
         C                    D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            Em
Because of you
                          C
I learned to play on the safe side so I
D
Don't get hurt

I try my hardest just to forget everything
            F#m
Because of you
                     D          E      C#
I don't know how to let anyone else in
           Bm
Because of you
                  A/C#              E      C#
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
            D
Because of you
        E
I am afraid
