Intro: F#5 D5 F#5 D5  F#5 D5

A5                   C5               F#5
 I?ve given up, I?m giving up slowly,   I?m blending in so
     D5                 F#5       E5                        F#5       D5
You won?t even know me   apart from this whole world that shares my fate
A5              C5                      F#5              D5
 This one last call that You mentioned   is my one last shot at redemption
F#5                 E5                       F#5    D5
  because I know to live you must give your life away


              F#5              D5         A5        E5
And I?ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
          F#5                 D5             A5                 E5
I?ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              F#5          D5                  A5               E5
And I?ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         C5                                         D5
And even though, there?s no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E5
I?m going because


A5 E5            D5         E5  
   I gotta get outta here
     A5                E5               D5          E5
I?m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A5 E5            D5         E5
   I gotta get outta here
        F#5              E5                C5             E5       A5
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging You to be my escape.


A5                  C5 
 I?m giving up I?m doing this alone now
F#5                         D5
  Cause I?ve failed and I?m ready to be shown how
F#5                 E5                 F#5     D5
  He?s told me the way and I?m trying to get there
A5              C5 
 And this life sentence that I?m serving
F#5                D5
  I admit that I?m every bit deserving
F#5                  E5                     F#5      D5
  But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


                F#5              D5         A5        E5
Cause I?ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
          F#5                 D5             A5                 E5
I?ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              F#5          D5                  A5               E5
And I?ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         C5                                         D5
And even though, there?s no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E5        
I?m going because


A5 E5            D5         E5
   I gotta get outta here
            A5                  E5          D5                  E5
Cause I?m afraid that this complacency is something I can?t shake
A5 E5            D5         E5
   I gotta get outta here
        F#5              E5                C5             E5       F#5
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging You to be my escape.


F#5 F#5

F#5             D5                A5
  I am a hostage to my own humanity
                            C5                      F#5
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I?ve made
                          D5                           A5
And all I?m asking is for You to do what You can with me
                       C5                    C5 
But I can?t ask You to give what You already gave


                F#5              D5         A5        E5
Cause I?ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
          F#5                 D5             A5                 E5
I?ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
              F#5          D5                  A5               E5
And I?ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         C5                                         D5
And even though, there?s no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E5
I?m going because


A5 E5            D5         E5  
   I gotta get outta here
     A5                E5               D5          E5
I?m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A5 E5            D5         E5
   I gotta get outta here
        F#5              E5                C5 
And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, I?m begging 


       E5       F#5  E5 D5 F#5 E5 D5
You to be my escape.


F#5         G5          D5
   I fought You for so long

   I should have let You in
F#5          E5                    D5
 Oh how we regret those things we do
F#5           G5     D5                          F#5
   And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
E5             D5
 But so were You


E5       F#5
So were You
