Because Of You Tab

by Kelly Clarkson


*I Swear this is the Original Key of the song because i listened to the CD over and over
again. It starts off with Ab Major and then ends in Bb Major.


                                   
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


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


        
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


[CHORUS]


              
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


CHORUS-MODULATING [Ab Major to Bb Major]:
           
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
                    
Because of you
