Intro: F#m D E F#m D E

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


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


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


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


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


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


            G#m E F#
Because of you
            G#m E F#
Because of you
