Be My Escape Acoustic

Text File
One of my favorite songs- the acoustic version is amazing if you haven't already
heard it (available on iTunes). These are perfect. Trust me, I played with the
actual song, and I didn't notice anything off.
Please rate and comment!
---CAPO 3---
Verse 1:
G D
I�ve given up, I'm giving up slowly,
C
I�m blending in so you won�t even know me
G D Em D C
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G D C
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
G D Em D C
because I know to live you must give your life away
Pre-chorus:
Em C G D
And I�ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
Em C G D
I�ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
Em C G D
And I�ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
F C
And even though, there�s no way in knowing where to go,
D
promise I�m going because
Chorus:
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
G D C D
I�m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
Em D
And I�m begging You, I�m begging You,
C D G
I�m begging You to be my escape.
Verse 2:
G D
I�m giving up on doing this alone now
C
Cause I�ve failed and I�m ready to be shown how
G D Em D C
He�s told me the way and I�m trying to get there
G D
And this life sentence that I�m serving
C
I admit that I�m every bit deserving
G D Em D C
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Pre-chorus
Chorus:
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
G D C D
I'm afraid that this complacity is something I can't shake
G D C D
I---I gotta get outta here
Em D
And I�m begging You, I�m begging You,
C D G
I�m begging You to be my escape.
Bridge:
Em D C D
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Em D C D
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I�ve made
Em D C D
And all I�m asking is for You to do what You can with me
F C D
But I can�t ask You to give what You already gave
Pre-chorus
Chorus
