The 3rd version has some mistakes in them, so I'll fix them now.
[Intro]
(piano):
, , , ,,
[Verse 1]
(piano, will be referred as (p) after the chord when guitar joins in if only piano plays the chord.
I will not ma
ke the same mi
stakes that yo
u-u did
I-i-i will not
let myself
Cause my heart
so much miser
y
I will no-ot
break the way
you did,
You fell so-o
hard
I've learned
the hard wa-a-
ay
To never let i
t get that far
(Drums joins in on 'Because', Guitar joins in on 'you)
[Chorus]
Because of you
I never stray
too far from t
he si-idewalk
Because of you
I learned to p
lay on the saf
e side so I do
-on't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard
to tru-st
Not only me, b
ut everyo-one
aro-und me
Because of you
-u-u-u-u
(
I am afra-aid
(Strings join in)
[Verse 2]
I lose my way
(
And it's not t
oo long befo-o
re you point i
t out
I cannot cry
(
Because you kn
ow that's weak
ness in your e
yes

fa-ake
(
ev-eryday of m
(
y life
My heart can't
possibly bre-
e-eak
(
When it wasn't
even whole to
sta-art with
[Chorus]
Beca-a-ause of
you
I never stray
too far from t
he si-idewalk
Because of you
I learned to p
lay on the saf
e side so I do
-on't get hu-u
-urt
Because of you
I find it hard
to tru-st
Not only me, b
ut everyo-one
aro-und me
Because of you
-u-u-u-u-u
I am afra-aid
[Bridge]
I watched you
die
I heard you cr
y every night
(
in yo-ur sleep
I was so-o you
ng
You should hav
e known better
(
than to lean
on me
You never thou
ght of anyone
else
You just saw y
(
our pain
And now I
cry in the mid
dle of the nig
ht
(
For the same d
amn thing
[Chorus]
(No drums and guitar from 'you', only piano & strings)
Because of you
I never stray
too far from t
he si-idewalk
Because of you
(Dashed line represents the drum sound this time, including the 't')
I learned to p
lay on the saf
e side so I do
