  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

            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 you 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

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 or the same damn thing

           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
