Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You guitar tab

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

Db Eb

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Fm

Because of you

Db Eb

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

Fm

Because of you

Db Eb F#

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Db

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

Db Eb

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

Fm

I was so young

Db Eb

You should have known better than to lean on me

Fm Db

You never thought of anyone else

Eb

You just saw your pain

Fm Db

And now I cry in the middle of the night

Eb

For the same *** thing
