A		E	F#m			E
I will not make the same mistakes that you did. I-i

Will not let myself cause my heart so much misery.

I’ve learned the hard way… to never let it get that far.

Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
		D	  E
Because of you I am afraid

Verse 2:
A		E	F#m			E
I lose my way and it’s not too long before you point it out
A		E	F#m			E
I cannot cry because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
A		E	F#m			E
I’m forced to fake a smile a laugh every day of my life
A			E			F#m		         	     E
My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with

Chorus:
		F#m		     D				E
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
		F#m		   		  D		E

		F#m			D		E			G
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
		D		E
Because of you I am afraid

Bridge:
		F#m			D			E
I watched you die, I heard you cry every night of your fear
	     F#m			D			    E
I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
		F#m			D			E
You never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain
		F#m				D		E
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same *** thing

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