(I know there are certain specific names for these chords but then wen chucked in with the lyrics it would be too crammed to fit the whole names in so lets just stick with simple names yes? By the way for certain parts you don't have to strum the e and B string.. whatever floats ya boat i guess. So just use these chords for the song):
[Verse 1] GA7sus4 I've given up on giving up slowly Cadd9 I'm blending in so you won't even know me Em7DsusA7sus4G/BCadd9 Apart from this whole world that shares my fate GA7sus4 This one last bullet you mention Cadd9 Is this my one last shot at redemption Em7DsusA7sus4G/BCadd9 Coz I know to live you must give your life away
[Pre-Chorus] Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me A7sus4Cadd9 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go Dsus (chucka-chucka) I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus] GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here GDsusCadd9Dsus I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here Em7DsusA7sus4Dsus And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Verse 2] GA7sus4 I've given up on doing this alone now Cadd9 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how Em7DsusA7sus4G/BCadd9 You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there GA7sus4 And this life sentence that I'm serving Cadd9 I admit that I'm every bit deserving Em7DsusA7sus4G/BCadd9 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
[Pre-Chorus] Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me A7sus4Cadd9 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go Dsus (chucka-chucka) I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus] GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here GDsusCadd9Dsus Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here Em7DsusCadd9Dsus And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Bridge] I've split the bridge into two parts, The lead riff: e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------2-2---------------------------------------------------2---------| A|-------------2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------| E|-0-0-0-3-------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------|
And the chords: Em7Cadd9 I am a hostage to my own humanity GA7sus4 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made Em7Cadd9 And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me GA7sus4 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave
[Pre-Chorus] Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key Em7Cadd9GDsus And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me A7sus4Cadd9 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go Dsus (chucka-chucka) I promise I'm going because...
[Chorus] GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here GDsusCadd9Dsus I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDsusCadd9Dsus I gotta get out of here Em7DsusA7sus4Dsus And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
[Outro] The outro is optional coz its played by piano, but I'll tab the chords out anyway:
Em7 Dsus Cadd9 only once for the acoustic version, but they do this twice for the original version
GA7sus4Cadd9 I fought you for so long, I should have let you win Em7DsusCadd9 Oh how we regret those things we do GA7sus4Cadd9Em7 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin DsusCadd9 Oh-o, but so were you
[Ending] (cause it's cool) So were you e|--------0~-----3~-------| B|--3~-----------3~-------| G|---------------0~-------| D|---------------0~-------| A|---------------2~-------| E|---------------3~-------| DsusEm7G
