G Bm Em Em
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
D 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
D Em C D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Em C D B7
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Am G/B D B7
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
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
D 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
D Bm Em D
And now I cry in the middle of the night or the same damn thing 
D Em C D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Em C D B7
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Am G/B D B7
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
C D
Because of you I am afraid
Em C D
Because of you Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
Em C D
Because of you Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
