Capo 2
[Intro]
(Em Am)x3 C D
[Verse 1]
G D
I’ve given up, I'm giving up slowly,
C
I’m blending in so you won’t even know me
Em D Am Em C
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G D C
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
Em D Am Em C
because I know to live you must give your life away
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
Em C G D
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
Am C
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go,
D
promise I’m going because
[Chorus]
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
G D C D
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
Em D
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You,
C D G
I’m begging You to be my escape.
[Verse 2]
G D
I’m giving up on doing this alone now
C
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
Em D Am Em C
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
G D
And this life sentence that I’m serving
C
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
Em D Am Em C
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
[Pre-Chorus]
Em C G D
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
Em C G D
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
Am C
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go,
D
promise I’m going because
[Chorus]
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
G D C D
I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
Em D
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You,
C D Em
I’m begging You to be my escape.
[Bridge]
Em D C D
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Em D C D
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
Em D C D
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
Am C D
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave
[Pre-Chorus]
(played single strumming)
Em C G D
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
Em C G D
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
Am C
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go,
D
promise I’m going because
[Chorus]
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
G D C D
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
Em D
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You,
C D Em
I’m begging You to be my escape.
[Outro]
(optional, but worth it)
Em D C Em D C
Em D C
I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
Em D C
Oh how we regret those things we do
Em D C Em
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
D C
Oh-o, but so were you
D C G
So were you
