Verse 1:
AB7 I've given up on giving up slowly
D I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Gbm7EB7AD Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
AB7 This one last bullet you mention
D Is this my one last shot at redemption
Gbm7EB7AD Coz I know to live you must give your life away
Pre-Chorus:
Gbm7DAE And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Gbm7DAE And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Gbm7DAE And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
B7D And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
E - chucka-chucka -
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
AEDE I gotta get out of here
AEDE I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
AEDE I gotta get out of here
Gbm7EB7E And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Verse 2:
AB7 I've given up on doing this alone now
D Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Gbm7EB7AD You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
AB7 And this life sentence that I'm serving
D I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Gbm7EB7AD But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Pre-Chorus:
Gbm7DAE And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Gbm7DAE And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Gbm7DAE And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
B7D And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
E - chucka-chucka -
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
AEDE I gotta get out of here
AEDE Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
AEDE I gotta get out of here
Gbm7EDE And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Bridge:
Gbm7D I am a hostage to my own humanity
AB7 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Gbm7D And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
AB7 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave
Pre-Chorus:
Gbm7DAE And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Gbm7DAE And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
Gbm7DAE And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
B7D And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
E - chucka-chucka -
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
AEDE I gotta get out of here
AEDE I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
AEDE I gotta get out of here
Gbm7EB7E And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape

AB7D I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
Gbm7ED Oh how we regret those things we do
AB7DGbm7 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
ED Oh-o, but so were you
