Capo 2
Intro: (Em Am)x3 C D
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
Em D Am Em 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
Em D Am Em 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
Am 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

I---I gotta get outta here
Em D

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
Em D Am Em 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
Em D Am Em C
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
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
Am 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 afraid that this complacency 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 Em
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
Am C D
But I can�t ask You to give what You already gave
Pre-Chorus (played single strumming)
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

And I�ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
Am C
And even though, there�s no way in knowing where to go,
D
promise I�m going because
Chorus

I---I gotta get outta here

I�m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

I---I gotta get outta here

C D Em
I�m begging You to be my escape.

Oh-o, but so were you
D C G
So were you
