[Chorus] Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk, because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt, because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me, because of you, I am afraid... [Verse 2] I lose my way, and its 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] Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk, because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt, because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me, Because of you, I am afraid... [Bridge] I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep... I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me. You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain, and now I cry in the middle of the night, for the same damn thing... **EITHER A CAPELLA OR ONE STRUM PER CHORD** [IF A CAPELLA - CHANCE TO CHANGE CAPO] Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk... Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt... **CAPO CHANGE!!!!** CAPO 3 Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything, becasue of you I don't know how to let anyone else in. Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because its empty because of you, I am, afraid... *Strum once per chord* Because of you.... ...because of you......
