For the intro play Am A2 Em Em7
E
I've given up on giving up slowly
A2
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
D2                               E      A2 D2
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
E
This one last call that you mentioned
A2
Is my one last shot at redemption
D2                                 E    A2 D2
I Know, to live you must give your life away

              E                A2        D2     A2
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
              E                  A2            D2                 A2
And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
              E            A2                 D2              A2
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
                 E                 A2               D2                A2
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because

E A2         D2     A2
I  gotta get out of here
    E            D2                   D2      A2
I'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
E A2         D2    A2
I  gotta get outta here
        E                A2               D2             A2
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.

Play intro
E
I'm giving up I'm doing this alone know 
A2
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how 
D2                                  E  A2  D2
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
E
And this life sentence thatI'm serving
A2
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
D2                                       E    A2  D2
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Chorus 2
              E                A2         D2    A2
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               E                 A2            D2                 A2
And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
              E            A2                 D2              A2
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
                 E                 A2               D2                A2
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because
E A2         D2     A2
I  gotta get out of here
          E                A2             D2                A2
Cause I'm afraid that this complacence is something i can't shake
E A2         D2    A2
I  gotta get outta here
        E                A2               D2             A2 
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.


Bridge

Am             A2
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Em                          Em7
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Am                        A2
And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me 
Em                          Em7
But I can't ask you to give what you already gave



Cause I've been houseing all this doubt and insecurity 

And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
              E            A2
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         E                         A2               D2                A2
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because
E A2         D2     A2
I  gotta get out of here
    E                 A2              D2      A2
I'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
E A2         D2    A2
I  gotta get outta here
        E                A2               D2                   A2
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.


Piano

I fought you for so long 

I should have let you win

Oh how we regret those things we do

But so were you

So were you
