[Interlude 1]
[Em][D][B][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]I've given up on giving up slowly,
[C]I'm blending in so You won't even know me
[Em]Apart from this whole world
that [Am]shares [G]my [C]fate
[G]This one last bullet You mention
[C]is my one last shot at redemption
[Em]Because I know to live[Em]
You must give your [Am]life [G]a w[C]ay

[Pre-chorus 1]
And I've been [Em]housing all this [C]doubt
and [G]insecuri[D]ty
and I've been [Em]locked inside that [C]house
all the [G]while You hold the [D]key
And I've been [Em]dying to get [C]out
and that might [G]be the death of [D]me
And even [A]though, there's no way in knowing
where to [C]go, promise I'm [D]going because

[Chorus 1]
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
I'm [G]stuck inside this [D]rut that I fell
[C]into by mis[D]take
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
And I'm [Em]begging You, I'm [D]begging You,
I'm [Am]begging You to [D]be my escape

[Verse 2]
[G]I'm[Am] giving up on doing this alone now
[C]Cause I've failed and I'm
ready to be shown how
[Em]He's told me the way[D]
and I'm trying [Am]to ge[G]t th[C]ere
[G]And this life sen[Am]tence that I'm serving
[C]I admit that I'm every bit deserving
[Em]But the beauty of grac[D]e
is that it makes [Am]life [G]not [C]fair

[Pre-chorus 2]
'Cause I've been [Em]housing all this [C]doubt
and [G]insecuri[D]ty
and I've been [Em]locked inside that [C]house
all the [G]while You hold the [D]key
And I've been [Em]dying to get [C]out
and that might [G]be the death of [D]me
And even [A]though, there's no way in knowing
where to [C]go, promise I'm [D]going because

[Chorus 2]
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
'Cause I'm a[G]fraid that this com[D]placency
is [C]something I can't [D]shake
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
And I'm [Em]begging You, I'm [D]begging You,
I'm [Am]begging You to [D]be my escape

[Interlude 2]

[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I am a hostage
[C]to my own humanity[G]
Self detained and forced to
[Am]live in this mess I've made
[Em]And all I'm asking is for You[C]
to do what you can with [G]me
But I can't ask You to [Am]give
what You already gave

[Pre-chorus 3]
'Cause I've been [Em]housing all this [C]doubt
and [G]insecur[D]ity
and I've been [Em]locked inside that [C]house
all the [G]while You hold the [D]key
And I've been [Em]dying to get [C]out
and that might [G]be the death of [D]me
And even [A]though, there's no way in knowing
where to [C]go, promise I'm [D]going because

[Chorus 3]
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
I'm [G]stuck inside this [D]rut that I fell
[C]into by mis[D]take
[G]I g[D]otta get outt[C]a here[D]
And I'm [Em]begging You, I'm [D]begging You,
I'm [Am]begging You to [D]be my escape

[Outro 1]
[Em]I fought You f[F]or so long[C]
I should have let You in
[Em]Oh how we regr[D]et
those things we [C]do
[Em]And all I wa[F]s trying[C]
to do was save my own [Em]skin
But so were [C]You
So were [G]You
