Ab          Eb       Fm                Eb   
I will not make the same mistakes that you did 
Ab         Eb 
I will not let myself 
Fm                      Eb  
Cause my heart so much misery 
Ab          Eb       Fm 
I will not break the way you did, 
     Eb 
You fell so hard 
Ab                Eb   
I've learned the hard way 
    Fm                   Eb 
To never let it get that far 
 
 
Chorus : 
           Fm   
Because of you 
             Db                 Eb   
I never stray too far from the sidewalk 
           Fm 
Because of you 
                          Db             Eb          
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt 
           Fm    
Because of you                                              
                   Db            Eb                 F#                       
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me 
           Db   
Because of you 
       Eb   
I am afraid 
 
 
Ab        Eb 
I lose my way 
         Fm             Eb     
And it's not too long before you point it out 
Ab       Eb 
I cannot cry 
   Fm                    Eb               Ab   
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes 
Ab             Eb 
I'm forced to fake 
   Fm             Eb             Ab       
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life 
Ab              Eb   
My heart can't possibly break 
         Fm                   Eb 
When it wasn't even whole to start with 
 
 
{Chorus} 
 
 
              Fm 
I watched you die 
            Db                  Eb     
I heard you cry every night in your sleep 
          Fm 
I was so young 
                 Db                   Eb 
You should have known better than to lean on me 
            Fm               Db 
You never thought of anyone else 
              Eb 
You just saw your pain 
          Fm                        Db 
And now I cry in the middle of the night 
         Eb  
For the same damn thing
