[Intro]
Em C G D
Em C G D
[Verse 1]
EmI'm tired of being what you Cwant me to be
GFeeling so faithless lost Dunder the surface
EmDon't know what you're exCpecting of me
Put Gunder the pressure of Dwalking in your shCoesD  
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every Emstep I take is anGother mistake to CyouD  
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
[Chorus]
EmI've become so Cnumb, I can't feel you Gthere
I've become so Dtired, so much more aEmware
I'm becoming Cthis, all I want to Gdo
Is be more like Dme and be less like Emyou
[Verse 2]
Can't you see that you're Csmothering me
GHolding too tightly aDfraid to lose contrEmol
Cause everything that you thoCught I would be
Has Gfallen apart rDight in front of CyouD  
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every Emstep that I take is anGother mistake to CyouD  
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every Emsecond I waste is more than GI can taDke
[Chorus]
EmI've become so Cnumb, I can't feel you Gthere
I've become so Dtired, so much more aEmware
I'm becoming Cthis, all I want to Gdo
Is be more like Dme and be less like Cyou
[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.
And I Dknow
I may Emend D/F#up GfailBm7ing Ctoo
But I knDow
You were Bjust like me with someone Bsus4disappointed in you
[Chorus]
EmI've become so Cnumb, I can't feel you Gthere
I've become so Dtired, so much more aEmware
I'm becoming Cthis, all I want to Gdo
Is be more like Dme and be less like Emyou
I've become so Cnumb, I can't feel you Gthere
(Tired of being what you wDant me to be)
EmI've become so Cnumb, I can't feel you Gthere
(Tired of being what you wDant me to be)
[Outro]
