[Intro]

Em C G D
Em C G D

[Verse 1]
Em C
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
G D
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Em C
Don't know what you're expecting of me
G D C D
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)


Em G C D
Every step I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]
Em C G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
D Em
I've become so tired, so much more aware
C G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
D Em
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Verse 2]
C
Can't you see that you're smothering me
G D Em
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
C
Cause everything that you thought I would be
G D C D
Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)


Em G C D
Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)


Em G D
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus]
Em C G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
D Em
I've become so tired, so much more aware
C G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
D C
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Bridge]
Hint: starting with the C the bass tones should ascend till G/B and then go
back down to C. The ascendance
of the bass tones is crucial for the intensification of this part.

D
And I know
Em D/F# G Bm7 C
I may end up failing too
D
But I know
B Bsus4
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
Em C G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
D Em
I've become so tired, so much more aware
C G
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
D Em
Is be more like me and be less like you
C G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
D
(Tired of being what you want me to be)
Em C G
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
D
(Tired of being what you want me to be)

[Outro]
Em C G D
