Intro: F#5 D5 E5 F#5 D5 E5

A5            C#5      F#5                    E5
 I will not make the same mistakes that you did
A5            C#5
 I will not let myself
 F#5                          E5
Cause my heart so much misery
A5             C#5      F#5
 I will not break the way you did,
             E5
You fell so hard
A5                  C#5
 I've learned the hard way
    F#5                   E5
To never let it get that far


            F#5
Because of you
           D5                        E5
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            F#5
Because of you
                          D5              E5            C#5
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
            B5
Because of you
                    A5             E5                 C#5
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
   D5
Because of you
        E5
I am afraid


A5           C#5
 I lose my way
          F#5                             E5
And it's not too long before you point it out
A5          C#5
 I cannot cry
   F#5                         E5         A5
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
               C#5
I'm forced to fake
    F#5                E5         A5
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
                C#5
My heart can't possibly break
         F#5                        E5
When it wasn't even whole to start with


            F#5
Because of you
           D5                        E5
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            F#5
Because of you
                          D5              E5            C#5
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
            B5
Because of you
                    A5             E5                 C#5
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
   D5
Because of you
        E5
I am afraid


               C#5
I watched you die
             F#5                E5
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
          C#5
I was so young
                 F#5                  E5
You should have known better than to lean on me
            C#5               F#5
You never thought of anyone else
              E5
You just saw your pain
            C#5                     F#5
And now I cry in the middle of the night
         E5
For the same damn thing


            F#5
Because of you
           D5                        E5
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
            F#5
Because of you
                          D5              E5            
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
            G#5
Because of you
                  E5             F#5
I try my hardest just to forget everything
            G#5
Because of you
                     E5         F#5      D#5
I don't know how to let anyone else in
            C#5
Because of you
                   B5                F#5    D#5
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
            E5
Because of you
        F#5
I am afraid


            G#5 E5 F#5
Because of you
            G#5 E5 F#5
Because of you
