Ab          Eb       Fm                Eb  
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
Ab         Eb
I will not let myself
Fm                      Eb 
Cause my heart so much misery
Ab          Eb       Fm
I will not break the way you did,
     Eb
You fell so hard
Ab                Eb  
I've learned the hard way
    Fm                   Eb
To never let it get that far


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


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


[CHORUS]


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


CHORUS-MODULATING [Ab Major to Bb Major]:
           Fm
Because of you
             C#                 Eb
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
           Fm
Because of you
                          C#             Eb  
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

           Gm
Because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

I don't know how to let anyone else in
           Gm
Because of you
                   Eb                F 
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
           Gm 
Because of you
    Eb  F
I am afraid


           Gm   Eb   F
Because of you
           Gm   Eb   F   Bb
Because of you
