Intro: F#m D F#m D  F#m D

A                   Cm               F#m
 I?ve given up, I?m giving up slowly,   I?m blending in so
     D                 F#m       E                        F#m       D
You won?t even know me   apart from this whole world that shares my fate
A              Cm                      F#m              D
 This one last call that You mentioned   is my one last shot at redemption
F#m                 E                       F#m    D
  because I know to live you must give your life away


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


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#m              E                Cm             E       A
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging You to be my escape.


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


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


A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
            A                  E          D                  E
Cause I?m afraid that this complacency is something I can?t shake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E                Cm             E       F#m
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging You to be my escape.


F#m F#m

F#m             D                A
  I am a hostage to my own humanity
                            Cm                      F#m
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I?ve made
                          D                           A
And all I?m asking is for You to do what You can with me
                       Cm                    Cm 
But I can?t ask You to give what You already gave


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


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#m              E                Cm 
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging 


       E       F#m  E D F#m E D
You to be my escape.


F#m         G          D
   I fought You for so long

   I should have let You in
F#m          E                    D
 Oh how we regret those things we do
F#m           G     D                          F#m
   And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
E             D
 But so were You


E       F#m
So were You
