Cadd9 G Bm Em D D/F
Intro: [Em Cadd9 D]x2
[Verse 1]
G D/F Em D/F
I will not make the same mistakes that you did,
G D/F Em D/F
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery.
G D/F Em D/F
I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard,
G D/F Em D
I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far...
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
Em Cadd9 D
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
Cadd9 G D
because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
Cadd9 D
because of you, I am afraid...

[Verse 2]
G D/F Em D/F G
I lose my way, and its not too long before you point it out,
G D/F Em D/F G
I cannot cry, because you know that's weakness in your eyes;
G D/F Em D/F G
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life.
G D/F Em D
My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with...
[Chorus]
Em Cadd9 D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
Em Cadd9 D
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
Cadd9 G D
because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
Cadd9 D
Because of you, I am afraid...
[Bridge]
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, for the same damn thing...
