Kelly Clarkson - Because of You (Piano Instrumental)

Best viewed in HD. Accompaniment only.

For sheet music, visit my channel page for details.

Lyrics and melody provided as a reference only.

Original starting key/tempo: Aь Maj (F min)/67 bpm.

Sorry for the crackling sound in the video...probably Windows Movie Maker's fault since I made sure the volume levels didn't peak. You can download the mp3, free from audio imperfections, using the link above and you'll see what I mean.

This was also my first production using Pro Tools 10, using a blend of Reason 2.5's grand piano, Pro Tools's MIDI grand, and Synthogy's Ivory Italian Grand.

Note: the software does not have notation for rolled chords yet, but you should be able to hear where it's located in this arrangement.

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 I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh every day 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
Because of you

[gemcaranay]

on 3:16 it should be
because of you I tried 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 of you
I am afraid because of you oohhh because of you oohhh
