Because Of You Uke tab by Kelly Clarkson

G             D            Em                        D
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
G            D
I will not let myself
Em                                 D
Cause my heart so much misery
G          D        Em
I will not break the way you did,
          C
You fell so hard
G                      D     
I've learned the hard way
        C                    D
To never let it get that far


                   G
Because of you
           Em                                D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  G
Because of you
                                    Em                        D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                  G
Because of you
                 C                D                           Em
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
                  G
Because of you
         D
I am afraid


G             D
I lose my way
            Em                D                       G
And it's not too long before you point it out
              D
I cannot cry
Em                                D                        G
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
                   D
I'm forced to fake
    Em                  D                  G
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
                       D
My heart can't possibly break
              C                          D
When it wasn't even whole to start with


                   G
Because of you
           Em                                D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  G
Because of you
                                    Em                        D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                  G
Because of you
                   C             D                               Em                               
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
                  G
Because of you
         D
I am afraid


                     G
I watched you die
             D                               A
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
              G
I was so young
                     Em                           A
You should have known better than to lean on me
                G                     D
You never thought of anyone else
             A
You just saw your pain
           G                               C
And now I cry in the middle of the night
       Bb      B      C#
For the same damn thing

                   G
Because of you
             Em                                D
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
                  G
Because of you
                                C                        D
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
                   G
Because of you
                      Em              D   
I try my hardest just to forget everything
                  G
Because of you
              Em                      D
I don't know how to let anyone else in
                   G
Because of you
                            Em                   D
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
                  G                 Em
Because of you
        D
I am afraid
                  G
Because of you
    Em             D
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
                  G
Because of you
    Em             D
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
G
ooh
