# Verse 1
A                B
I've given up on giving up slowly
D
I'm blending in so you won't even know me
F#                    E          B      C# D
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate

A             B
This one last bullet you mention
D
Is my one last shot at redemption
F#                E                       B    C# D
Because I know to live you must give your life away


# Pre-Chorus
F#                             D         A       E
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
          F#                 D             A                  E
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              F#           D                  A               E
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         B                                          D               E
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because


# Chorus
A E         D     E
I gotta get outta here
A                     E               D       E 
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A E         D     E 
I gotta get outta here
        F#               E                D              E
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.


# Verse 2 
A                B          
I'm giving up on doing this alone now
D
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
F#               E                  B  C#  D   
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
A             B
And this life sentence that I'm serving
D
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
F#                E                      B    C#  D
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


# Pre-Chorus
F#                             D         A       E
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
          F#                 D             A                  E
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              F#           D                  A               E
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         B                                          D               E
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because

I gotta get outta here
A                     E               D       E 
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A E         D     E 
I gotta get outta here
        F#               E                D              E
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

# In the song this is a guitar break, but you can also strum the following:

F#             D
I am a hostage to my own humanity
A                           B
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made

But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              F#           D                  A               E

F#m      Gadd9
I fought You for so long
D
I should have let You in
F#m       E                      D
Oh how we regret those things we do

And all I was trying to do was save my own skin

But so were You

F#m E   A
So were You
