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
