Kelly Clarkson - Because Of Youadd

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

       C
Because of you
           Am                G
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  C
Because of you
                       Am                        G
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                  C
Because of you
                 F                G            Am
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
      C
Because of you
         G
I am afraid

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

     C
Because of you
           Am          G
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
     C
Because of you
                  Am                        G

                  C
Because of you
       F             G                               Am
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
    C
Because of you
         G
I am afraid

          C
I watched you die
             G                 D
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
              C
I was so young
                     Am       D
You should have known better than to lean on me
                C     G
You never thought of anyone else
             D
You just saw your pain
           C          F
And now I cry in the middle of the night
       Eb      E      F#
For the same damn thing

I try my hardest just to forget everything
    C
Because of you
        Am                      G
I don't know how to let anyone else in
   C
Because of you
                   Am     G
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
    C                 Am
Because of you
   G
I am afraid
    C
Because of you
    Am  G
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh

Because of you
    Am  G
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
