*I Swear this is the Original Key of the song because i listened to the CD over and over
again. It starts off with Ab Major and then ends in Bb Major.
[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
CHORUS-MODULATING [Ab Major to Bb Major]:
[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
[Gm]
Because of you
[Eb] [F]
I try my hardest just to forget everything
[Gm]
Because of you
[Eb] [F]
I don't know how to let anyone else in
[Gm]
Because of you
[Eb] [F]
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[Gm]
Because of you
[Eb] [F]
I am afraid
[Gm] [Eb] [F]
Because of you
[Gm] [Eb] [F] [Bb]
Because of you
