Intro: x2
G           Bm     Em                        D/F#
 I will not make the same mistakes that you did,
G         Bm         Em                           D/F#
 I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery.
G         Bm     Em                         D/F
                                             #
 I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard,
G                Bm          Em                   Dsus4    D
 I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far...
            Em             Cadd9                D
 Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
            Em                           Cadd9            D
 because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
            Cadd9                  G              D
 because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
            Cadd9       D
 because of you, I am afraid...
G          Bm          Em                      D/F#       G
 I lose my way, and its not too long before you point it out,
G           Bm   Em                             D/F#       G
 I cannot cry, because you know that's weakness in your eyes;
G               Bm      Em                   D/F#       G
 I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life.
                  Bm                      Em                   D
 My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with...
         Em             Cadd9                D
 Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
            Em                           Cadd9            D
 because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
            Cadd9                  G                  D
 because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
            Cadd9       D
 Because of you, I am afraid...
               Bm               Em                  D
 I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep...
          Bm                      Em                  D
 I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me.
            Bm                Em                 D
 You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain,
           Bm                       Em             D
 and now I cry in the middle of the night, for the same damn thing...
(quiet struming OR JUST ONE)
        Em             Cadd9             D
         *              *                 *
 Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
            Em                           Cadd9         D
             *                            *             *
 because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt...
            F#m                  Dadd9            E
 Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything,
            F#m                      Dadd9       E
 becasue of you I don't know how to let anyone else in.
            Dadd9                  A               E
 Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because its empty
            Dadd9        E
 because of you, I am, afraid...
(quiet struming)
            F#m    Dadd9   E
 Because of you....
