Artist: Relient K
Song: Be My Escape Acoustic

Standard tuning, CAPO 2nd fret

I kno there are certain specific names for these chords
but then wen chucked in with the lyrics it wud be too
crammed to fit the whole names in so lets just stick
with simple names yis? and btw for ceratin parts u dont hav
to strum the e and B string.. wateva floats ya boat i guess. 
So just use these chords for the song:

  G (320003@1)    A7sus4 (002033@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1)   Em7      Dsus (xx0233@1)   G/BE---3 (143121@7)   E---3    E---3    E---3    E---3    E---3

Verse 1:
G (320003@1)               A7sus4 (002033@1)I've given up on giving up slowly
Cadd9
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Em7              Dsus (xx0233@1)             A7sus4 (002033@1) G/B (143121@7)Cadd9 (x32030@1)Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G (320003@1)            A7sus4 (002033@1)               
 This one last bullet you mention
Cadd9
 Is this my one last shot at redemption
Em7             Dsus (xx0233@1)                  A7sus4 (002033@1)G/B (143121@7)name="chord_x32030@1">Cadd9
 Coz I know to live you must give your life away


Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              Cadd9 (x32030@1)       G (320003@1)     Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                Cadd9 (x32030@1)             G (320003@1)              Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           Cadd9 (x32030@1)                G (320003@1)           Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7sus4 (002033@1)                                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                Dsus (xx0233@1) (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus         Cadd9 (x32030@1)  Dsus (xx0233@1) I gotta get out of here
       G (320003@1)              Dsus (xx0233@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1)         Dsus (xx0233@1) I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus          Cadd9 (x32030@1)      Dsus (xx0233@1)I gotta get out of here
         Em7              Dsus (xx0233@1)              A7sus4 (002033@1)      Dsus (xx0233@1)             
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Verse 2:
G (320003@1)               A7sus4 (002033@1)I've given up on doing this alone now
Cadd9
 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Em7                 Dsus (xx0233@1)                A7sus4 (002033@1)G/B (143121@7)Cadd9 (x32030@1)You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
G (320003@1)              A7sus4 (002033@1)And this life sentence that I'm serving
Cadd9
 I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Em7                     Dsus (xx0233@1)                A7sus4 (002033@1) G/B (143121@7) Cadd9 (x32030@1)But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              Cadd9 (x32030@1)       G (320003@1)     Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                Cadd9 (x32030@1)             G (320003@1)              Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           Cadd9 (x32030@1)                G (320003@1)           Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7sus4 (002033@1)                                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                Dsus (xx0233@1) (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:

G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus          Cadd9 (x32030@1)   Dsus (xx0233@1) I gotta get out of here
         G (320003@1)                   Dsus (xx0233@1)        Cadd9 (x32030@1)               Dsus (xx0233@1)Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus         Cadd9 (x32030@1)    Dsus (xx0233@1)I gotta get out of here
         Em7              Dsus (xx0233@1)              Cadd9 (x32030@1)            Dsus (xx0233@1)             
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Bridge:
I've split the bridge into two parts,
The lead riff:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------2-2---------------------------------------------------2---------|
A|-------------2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-0-0-0-3-------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------|

And the chords:
Em7             Cadd9 (x32030@1)I am a hostage to my own humanity
G (320003@1)                           A7sus4 (002033@1)Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Em7                         Cadd9 (x32030@1)And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
G (320003@1)                         A7sus4 (002033@1)But I can't ask you to give what you already gave

 

Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              Cadd9 (x32030@1)       G (320003@1)     Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                Cadd9 (x32030@1)             G (320003@1)              Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           Cadd9 (x32030@1)                G (320003@1)           Dsus (xx0233@1)And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7sus4 (002033@1)                                     Cadd9 (x32030@1)And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                Dsus (xx0233@1) (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus         Cadd9 (x32030@1)  Dsus (xx0233@1) I gotta get out of here
       G (320003@1)              Dsus (xx0233@1)          Cadd9 (x32030@1)         Dsus (xx0233@1) I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0233@1">Dsus          Cadd9 (x32030@1)      Dsus (xx0233@1)I gotta get out of here
         Em7              Dsus (xx0233@1)              A7sus4 (002033@1)      Dsus (xx0233@1)             
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape


Outro:
The outro is optional coz its played by piano,
but I'll tab the chords out anyway:

Em7 Dsus Cadd9 only once for the acoustic version, but they do this
twice for the original version

G (320003@1)         A7sus4 (002033@1)      Cadd9 (x32030@1)I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
 Em7           Dsus (xx0233@1)               Cadd9 (x32030@1) Oh how we regret those things we do
G (320003@1)       A7sus4 (002033@1)      Cadd9 (x32030@1)                   Em7    
 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
    Dsus (xx0233@1)             Cadd9 (x32030@1) Oh-o, but so were you

End with this: (coz its cool)
   So    were    you 
e|--------0~-----3~-------|
B|--3~-----------3~-------|
G|---------------0~-------|
D|---------------0~-------|
A|---------------2~-------|
E|---------------3~-------|
    Dsus (xx0233@1)  Em7      G (320003@1)
lol
