BECAUSE OF YOU KELLY CLARKSON
(Capo 1st Fret)
Em C D
Em C D
Oooh..oooh...oooh
G Bm Em D
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
G Bm
I will not let myself
Em D
Cause my heart so much misery
G Bm Em
I will not break the way you did,
D
You fell so hard
G Bm
I've learned the hard way
Em D
To never let it get that far
Chorus:
Em
Because of you
C D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Em
Because of you
C D B7
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
C
Because of you
G D B7
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
C
Because of you
D
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Chorus
Bm
I watched you die
Em D
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
Bm
I was so young
Em D
You should have known better than to lean on me
Bm Em
You never thought of anyone else
D
You just saw your pain
Bm Em
And now I cry in the middle of the night
D
For the same damn thing
(soft)
Em
Because of you
C D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Em
Because of you
C D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
(strong)
F#m
Because of you
D E
I try my hardest just to forget everything
F#m
Because of you
D E C#7
I don't know how to let anyone else in
D
Because of you
A E C#7
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
D
Because of you
E
I am afraid
F#m
Because of you
D E
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
F#m
Because of you
D E
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
A
ooh
