Biography:
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.

I'm not too sure about the second part of the intro while the bass is doing something
funky but I think its something like:

[Verse 1]
A5 B5
I've given up on giving up slowly
D5
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
F#5 E5 A5 C#5 D5
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
A5 B5
This one last call that You mentioned
D5
Is my one last shot at redemption
F#5 E5 A5 C#5 D5
Because I know to live you must give your life away
[Pre-Chorus]
F#5 D5 A5 E5
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
F#5 D5 A5 E5
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
F#5 D5 A5 E5
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
B5 (p.m. if you want) D5
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm
E5
going
(mute the strings and strum quickly four times)
Because
[Chorus]
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
A5 E5 D5 E5(mute effect again)
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
F#5 E5 D5 E5
And I'm begging You, begging You, begging You to be my escape.

. . . . . . . .
I'm giving up I'm doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
[Chorus 2]
(Same as Chorus 1)
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I gotta get outta here
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
I gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.
[Bridge]
F#5 D5
I am a hostage to my own humanity
F#5 D5
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
F#5 D5
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
B5 D5 E5 (let ring)
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
[Chorus 3]
(Same as Chorus 1)
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because
I've gotta get outta here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I've gotta get outta here
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging
You to be my escape.
[Outro]
(All Piano)
I fought You for so long
I should have let You win
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You
So were You
