F#m D A E
F#m D A E

F#m                          D
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
 A                         E
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
F#m                         D
I don't know what you're expecting of me
    A                      E                D
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

D                             E
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
       F#m                  A                 D
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
                              E
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow


  F#m             D                       A
  I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
             E                   F#m
  Become so tired, so much more aware
                 D                  A
  I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                   E                  F#m
  Is be more like me and be less like you

F#m                         D
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
 A                      E
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
F#m                           D
 'Cause everything that you thought I would be
     A             E                 D
Has fallen apart, right in front of you

D                             E
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
       F#m                  A                 D
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
                              E
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
           F#m                        A
And every second I waste is more than I can take


  F#m             D                       A
  I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
             E                   F#m
  Become so tired, so much more aware
                 D                  A
  I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                   E                   D
  Is be more like me and be less like you

        E        F#m G#   A  C#    D
And I know I may end up  failing, too
        E            C#
But I know you were just like me
              C#             C#
With someone disappointed in you


  F#m             D                       A
  I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
             E                   F#m
  Become so tired, so much more aware
                 D                  A
  I'm becoming this, all I want to do
                   E
  Is be more like me and be less like...

  F#m             D                       A
  I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
                               E
  I'm tired of being what you want me to be
  F#m             D                       A
  I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
                               E
  I'm tired of being what you want me to be
