DO# DO# DO# DO# DO# re DO# DO# si la
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
DO# DO# si la si mi DO# DO# si la si
Feeling so faithless , lost under the surface
DO# DO# DO# DO# re DO# DO# si la
Don't know what you're expecting of me
mi DO# DO# si la si mi DO# si la si DO#
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes ( Caught in the undertow , just caught in the undertow )
DO# DO# fa# fa# DO# DO# DO# DO# fa# fa# mi DO# re mi
Every step that I take is another mistake to you ( Caught in the undertow , just caught in the undertow )

fa# fa# fa# mi fa# fa# fa# fa# sol# mi
I've become so numb , I can't feel you there
fa# fa# mi fa# fa# fa# fa# mi fa#
Become so tired , so much more aware

fa# fa# fa# mi fa# fa# fa# fa# sol# mi
I'm becoming this , all I want to do
fa# fa# fa# mi fa# fa# fa# fa# mi fa#
Is be more like me and be less like you

fa# fa# fa# fa# mi fa# mi mi mi
Can't you see that you're smothering me ,
fa# mi mi mi DO# re DO# si DO# DO#
Holding too tightly , afraid to lose control?
fa# DO# DO# DO# DO# re DO# DO# si la
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
mi DO# DO# si la DO# si la si DO#
Has fallen apart right in front of you . ( Caught in the undertow , just caught in the undertow )
DO# DO# fa# fa# DO# DO# DO# DO# fa# fa# mi DO# re mi
Every step that I take is another mistake to you . ( Caught in the undertow , just caught in the undertow )
DO# DO# DO# fa# fa# mi DO# DO# DO# DO# la sol# la sol#
And every second I waste is more than I can take .

fa# fa# fa# mi fa# fa# fa# fa# sol# mi
I've become so numb , I can't feel you there

I'm becoming this , all I want to do
