Okay I think this is right. This is how my friend and I used to play it.

Verse 1
C                G
I�ve given up on giving up slowly,
 A                      F
I�m blending in so You won�t even know me 
C           G                       C    D    F  
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
C               G
This one last bullet you mention
  A               F
 is my one last shot at redemption 
C                 G                      C   D F 
cause I know to live you must give your life away
Chorus 
              C                 A         F     G      
And I�ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
           C                  A              F                G 
I�ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
                C           A                 F               G
And I�ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
          D                                         F                G
And even though, there�s no way in knowing where to go, promise I�m going 
because
C   G         A            F
I gotta get outta here 
C                      G                A        F
I�m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
C   G         A          F 
I gotta get outta here 
         D                  F                 D          G      C           
And I�m begging You, I�m begging You, I�m begging You to be my escape.
 
Verse 2 
C                 G
I�m giving up on doing this alone now
A                          F
Cause I�ve failed and I�m ready to be shown how
C                 G                  C  D   F 
He�s told me the way and I�m trying to get there
C                G
And this life sentence that I�m serving
A                  F                  
I admit that I�m every bit deserving 
C                   G                     C   D    F         
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
CHORUS
Bridge
A              F
I am a hostage to my own humanity
A                            F                        
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I�ve made
A                         F                                
And all I�m asking is for You to do what You can with me
A                       G (hold)
But I can�t ask You to give what You already gave 
CHORUS
Outro
A         G            
I fought You for so long
F
I should have let You in
A            G                   F 
Oh how we regret those things we do
A        G             F         
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
A    G            F
But ohh  so were You
         C 
So were You
