Relient K is an American rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Brian Pittman (bass), and Matthew Hoopes (guitar, backing vocals), during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.
In 2000, Dave Douglas replaced Stephen Cushman on drums.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I've seen great tabs for this song, but all of them were just a little bit off. nothing too major, just enough to irk me a little bit. anyway, I've listened to the song over and over and watched how they play it live and I am 100 % certain that this is the way that they play it live, as well as on the album. Also, thanks to lovetoplaybball for the most accurate tab on this song. Oh yeah! One more thing. The high pitched instrument in this song is a mandolin, I'm not going to tab it out. That goes for the piano too.

GD Ive given up, I'm giving up slowly, Cadd9 Im blending in so you wont even know me GDG Em/GCadd9 apart from this whole world that shares my fate GDCadd9 This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption GDG Em/GCadd9 because I know to live you must give your life away
(Pre-chorus)
EmCGD And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me AmC And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, D promise Im going because
(Chorus 1) GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here GDCadd9D I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here Em/GD And Im begging You, I’m begging You, CDG Im begging You to be my escape.
(Verse 2) GD Im giving up on doing this alone now Cadd9 Cause Ive failed and Im ready to be shown how GDG Em/GCadd9 Hes told me the way and Im trying to get there GD And this life sentence that Im serving Cadd9 I admit that Im every bit deserving GDG Em/GCadd9 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
(Pre-chorus) EmCGD And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me AmC And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, D promise Im going because
(Chorus 2) GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here GDCadd9D Im afraid that this complacency is something I cant shake GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here Em/GD And Im begging You, Im begging You, Cadd9DG Im begging You to be my escape.
(Bridge) EmDCD I am a hostage to my own humanity EmDCD Self detained and forced to live in this mess Ive made EmDCD And all Im asking is for You to do what You can with me AmCD But I cant ask You to give what You already gave
(Pre-chorus) EmCGD And Ive been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD Ive been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And Ive been dying to get out and that might be the death of me AmC And even though, theres no way in knowing where to go, D promise Im going because
(Chorus 1)
GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here GDCadd9D Im stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDCadd9D I---I gotta get outta here Em/GD And Im begging You, Im begging You, CDG Im begging You to be my escape
