'Because Of You' by Kelly Clarkson - Guitar Tutorial

            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
         C#           Eb 
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
       Fm
Because of you
                  C#         Eb      
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
       Fm  
Because of you                              
             C#        Eb           F#               
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
       C# 
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
        C#            Eb   
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
       Fm
I was so young
           C#             Eb
You should have known better than to lean on me
        Fm          C#
You never thought of anyone else
         Eb
You just saw your pain
       Fm                C#
And now I cry in the middle of the night
      Eb 
For the same damn thing

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
