Because Of You Tab

by Kelly Clarkson


Played it by ear..so it sounds pretty much the same...Enjoy ;) its a great song...
listen to the song first and hear where which chord goes where.

Never underestimate the power of your ear



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


                   
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


             
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


                   
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


                     
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

                   
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 try my hardest just to forget everything
                  
Because of you
                                    
I don't know how to let anyone else in
                   
Because of you
                                               
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
                                   
Because of you
        
I am afraid
                  
Because of you
                 
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh
                  
Because of you
                 
Ooh, oohhh, ohhh

ooh
