Intro: G-Bm-Em-D-G-Bm-Em-D-G
G Bm Em D
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
G Bm Em D
I will not let myself Cause my heart so much misery
G Bm Em D
I will not break the way you did, You fell so hard
G Bm Em D
I've learned the hard way To never let it get that far
Chorus
Em C D
Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Em C D
Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
B Em G D B
Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Bm C D
Because of you, I am afraid
G Bm Em D G
I lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out
Bm Em D G
I cannot cry, because I know that's weakness in your eyes
Bm Em D G
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
Bm Em D
My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with
Repeat Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus
D C
Because of you
D C D
Because of you
