[Intro]

Em Cadd9 D x2

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

                 Em                  Cadd9                     D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
                 Em                                      Cadd9                D        B7
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
                 Cadd9                      G                     D                       B7
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
                 Cadd9        D
Because of you, I am afraid...

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

[Chorus]

             Em                 Cadd9                        D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
                 Em                                       Cadd9           D
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
                 Cadd9                      G                          D                  B7
because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
                 Cadd9         D
Because of you, I am afraid...

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

             Em                 Cadd9                        D

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,

                 Em                                       Cadd9           D
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

[Chorus]

                 F#m                         Dadd9               E
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything,
                 F#m                                 Dadd9        E
becasue of you I don't know how to let anyone else in.
                 Dadd9                           A                      E         C#7
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because its empty
                 Dadd9          E
because of you, I am, afraid...

*Strum once per chord*
                 F#m Dadd9 E
Because of you....
                       F#m Dadd9 E
...because of you......
