I will not make the same mistake that you did G D Em D
I will not let myself G D
Cause my heart so much misery Em D
I will not break the way you did G D Em
You fell so heard C
I've learned the hard way G D
To never let it get that far C D

Because of you G
I never stray too far from the sidewalk Em D
Because of you G
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Em D
Because of you G
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me C D Em
Because of you G
I am afraid D

I lose my way G D
And It's not too long before you point it out Em D G
I cannot cry D
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes Em D G
I'm forced to fake D
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life Em D G
My heart can't possibly break D
Then it wasn't even whole to start with C D

Because of you G
I never stray too far from the sidewalk Em D
Because of you G
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Em D
Because of you G
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me C D Em
Because of you G
I am afraid D

I watched you die G
I heard you cry every night in your sleep D A
I was so young G
You should have known better than to lean on me Em A
You never thought of anyone else G D
You just saw your pain A
And now I cry in the middle of the night G D
For the same damn thing

Because of you G
I never stray too far from the sidewalk Em D
Because of you G
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt Em D
Because of you G
I try my hardest just to forget everything Em D
Because of you G
I don't know how to let anyone else in Em D
Because of you G
I'm ashamed of my life because It's empty Em D
Because of you G Em
I am afraid D

Because of you D
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh Em D
Because of you G
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh Em D
