listen to the song first and hear where which chord goes where.

Never underestimate the power of your ear



D
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
D
I will not let myself
D
Cause my heart so much misery
Em
I will not break the way you did,
          C
You fell so hard
D

I've learned the hard way
        D
To never let it get that far


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


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


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


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

                   G
Because of you
             D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  G
Because of you
                                D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                   G
Because of you
                      D
I try my hardest just to forget everything
                  G
Because of you
              D
I don't know how to let anyone else in
                   G
Because of you
                            D
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
                  Em
Because of you
        D
I am afraid
                  G
Because of you
    D
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
                  G
Because of you
    D
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
G
