Full Song

Verse 1

Em

I’m tired of being what you want me to be,

G

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.

D

Don’t know what you’re expecting of me,

C

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.

Chorus

Em G

I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there,

D C

Become so tired, so much more aware.

Em G

I’m becoming this, all I want to do

D C

Is be more like me and be less like you.
