Kelly Clarkson – Because of you

A           E        F#m                E  I will not make the same mistakes that you did
A          E I will not let myself
F#m                      E Cause my heart so much misery
A           E        F#mI will not break the way you did,
     E You fell so hard
A                 E   I've learned the hard way
    F#m                   E To never let it get that far

CHORUS :
           F#m  Because of you
           D                     E  I never stray too far from the sidewalk
           F#mBecause of you
                          D                      E         I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
           F#m   Because of you                                             
               D                  E                           I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
            D  Because of you
        E  I am afraid


A          E I lose my way
         F#m              E    And it's not too long before you point it out
A          EI cannot cry
   F#m                     E              A  Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
A               EI'm forced to fake
   F#m             E            A      A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
A               E  My heart can't possibly break
         F#m                EWhen it wasn't even whole to start with


[CHORUS]


             F#mI watched you die
            D                       E    I heard you cry every night in your sleep
            F#mI was so young
                D                      EYou should have known better than to lean on me
           F#m              DYou never thought of anyone else
                EYou just saw your pain
        F#m                         DAnd now I cry in the middle of the night
        E For the same damn thing
