[Verse 1]

G (320003@1)         D/F# (200232@1)   Em (022000@1)                      D/F# (200232@1)       
 I will not make the same mistakes that you did,
G (320003@1)       D/F# (200232@1)       Em (022000@1)                         D/F# (200232@1)I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery.
G (320003@1)        D/F# (200232@1)     Em (022000@1)                         D/F# (100232@1) I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard,
G (320003@1)              D/F# (200232@1)        Em (022000@1)                 D (xx0232@1)I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far...

 [Chorus]

            Em (022000@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)              D (xx0232@1)Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
            Em (022000@1)                         Cadd9 (x32030@1)          D (xx0232@1)because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
            Cadd9 (x32030@1)                G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
            Cadd9 (x32030@1)     D (xx0232@1)because of you, I am afraid...

[Verse 2]
G (320003@1)       D/F# (200232@1)        Em (022000@1)                    D/F# (200232@1)     G (320003@1)I lose my way, and its not too long before you point it out,
G (320003@1)      D/F# (200232@1) Em (022000@1)                           D/F# (200232@1)     G (320003@1)I cannot cry, because you know that's weakness in your eyes;
G (320003@1)           D/F# (200232@1)   Em (022000@1)                 D/F# (200232@1)     G (320003@1) I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life.
G (320003@1)            D/F# (200232@1)                    Em (022000@1)                 D (xx0232@1)My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with...

[Chorus]

         Em (022000@1)           Cadd9 (x32030@1)              D (xx0232@1)Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
            Em (022000@1)                         Cadd9 (x32030@1)          D (xx0232@1)because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
            Cadd9 (x32030@1)                G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
            Cadd9 (x32030@1)     D (xx0232@1)Because of you, I am afraid...

               Bm (x24432@1)             Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1)I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep...
          Bm (x24432@1)                    Em (022000@1)                D (xx0232@1)I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me.
            Bm (x24432@1)              Em (022000@1)               D (xx0232@1)You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain,
           Bm (x24432@1)                     Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1)and now I cry in the middle of the night, for the same damn thing...
