[Verse 1] GD I’ve given up, I'm giving up slowly, C I’m blending in so you won’t even know me EmDAmEmC apart from this whole world that shares my fate GDC This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption EmDAmEmC because I know to live you must give your life away
[Pre-Chorus]
EmCGD And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And I’ve 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 I’m going because
[Chorus]
GDCD I---I gotta get outta here GDCD I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDCD I---I gotta get outta here EmD And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, CDG I’m begging You to be my escape.
[Verse 2]
GD I’m giving up on doing this alone now C Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how EmDAmEmC He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there GD And this life sentence that I’m serving C I admit that I’m every bit deserving EmDAmEmC But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
[Pre-Chorus]
EmCGD And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And I’ve 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 I’m going because
[Chorus]
GDCD I---I gotta get outta here GDCD I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake GDCD I---I gotta get outta here EmD And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, CDEm I’m 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 I’ve made EmDCD And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me AmCD But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave
[Pre-Chorus] (played single strumming)
EmCGD And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity EmCGD I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key EmCGD And I’ve 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 I’m going because
[Chorus]
GDCD I---I gotta get outta here GDCD I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake GDCD I---I gotta get outta here EmD And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, CDEm I’m begging You to be my escape.
[Outro] (optional, but worth it)

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