[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][Em][D]
[G][Bm][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I will not mak[Bm]e
the [Em]same mistakes that you [D]did
[G]I will not let[Bm] myself
[Em]cause my heart so much [D]misery
[G]I will not bre[Bm]ak
the [Em]way you did, you fell so h[D]ard
[G]I've learned the har[Bm]d way
to [Em]never let it get that [D]far

[Chorus 1]
Because of [Em]you
I never [C]stray too far from the [D]sidewalk
Because of [Em]you
I learned to play on the [C]safe side
so I [D]don't get [B]hurt
Because of [Am]you
I find it hard to [G]trust not only [D]me,
but everyone a[B]round me
Because of [C]you, I am a[D]fraid

[Verse 2]
[G]I lose my way[Bm]
And it's [Em]not too long before you p[D]oint it [G]out
I cannot [Bm]cry bec[Em]ause I know that's weakness
[D]in your [G]eyes
I'm forced to [Bm]fake a [Em]smile,
a laugh every [D]day of my [G]life
My heart can't [Bm]possibly break
When it [Em]wasn't even whole to [D]start with

[Chorus 2]
Because of [Em]you
I never [C]stray too far from the [D]sidewalk
Because of [Em]you
I learned to play on the [C]safe side
so I [D]don't get [B]hurt
Because of [Am]you
I find it hard to [G]trust not only [D]me,
but everyone a[B]round me
Because of [C]you, I am a[D]fraid

[Bridge 1]
I watched you [Bm]die, I heard you [Em]cry
every night in [D]your sleep
I was so [Bm]young
You should have [Em]known better
than to [D]lean on me
You never [Bm]thought of anyone [Em]else,
you just saw [D]your pain
And now I [Bm]cry in the middle of the n[Em]ight
For the [D]same damn [D]thing

[Chorus 3]
Because of [Em]you
I never [C]stray too far from the [D]sidewalk
Because of [Em]you
I learned to play on the [C]safe side
so I [D]don't get [B]hurt
Because of [Am]you
I find it hard to [G]trust not only [D]me,
but everyone a[B]round me
Because of [C]you, I am a[D]fraid
