G2                  Bm7 (x20202@1)       
  I've learned the hard way
     Em (022000@1)                Dsus4 (xx0233@1)D (xx0232@1)
To never let it get that far

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
             Cmaj7(or (x32000@1)C)     
Because of you
         Dsus4I (xx0233@1)am afraid


G2          Bm7 (x20202@1) I lose my way
          Em (022000@1)                    DAnd (xx0232@1)it's not too long before you point it out
G2         Bm7 (x20202@1) I cannot cry
      Em (022000@1)                         DBecause (xx0232@1)you know that's weakness in your eyes
G2             Bm7 (x20202@1) I'm forced to fake
    Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1)         G2
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
                Bm7My (x20202@1)heart can't possibly break
         Em (022000@1)                 Dsus4 (xx0233@1)    DWhen (xx0232@1)it wasn't even whole to start with

          B (x2444x@1)                       Em (022000@1)
