[Intro]
Em C Dsus D Em C D5 Dadd4
[Verse 1]
G5 Bm Emadd9 Em
I will not make the same mistakes that you did,
D G5 Bm Emadd9 Em D
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery.
G5 Bm Emadd9 Em D
I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard,
G Bm Emadd9 Em D5
I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far...
[Chorus]
Dsus D Em Cmaj7 D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
Em Cmaj7 D
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
Am7 G/B D B7
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
Cmaj7 Dadd2
Because of you, I am afraid...
[Verse 2]
G5 Bm Emadd9 Em D G5
I lose my way, and it's not too long before you point it out,
Bm Emadd9 Em D G5
I cannot cry, because you know that's weakness in your eyes;
Bm Emadd9 Em D G
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life
Bm Emadd9 Em D5 Dsus
My heart can't possibly break, when it wasn't even whole to start with...
[Chorus]
D Em Cmaj7 D
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
Em Cmaj7 D
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt,
Am7 G/B D B7
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me,
Cmaj7 Dadd4 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 Dsus
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain,
D Bm Em Dsus D Dsus D Dsus2
and now I cry in the middle of the night, for the same damn thing...
[Outro]
D5 Em C2 D Dsus
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk,
D Em C2 D5
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
F#m Dmaj7 E
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything,
F#m Dmaj7 E
because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in.
Bm7 A/C# E7
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
C#7 Dmaj7 E
because of you, I am, afraid...
F#m D E Esus
Because of you....
E5 F#m D E
Because of you......

Cord placement is off a bit, and from the acoustic version that I listen to, I think you should capo in 1. Other than that it is a good starting point.
