A                 B7
 I've given up on giving up slowly
D
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
F#m7                              B7    A     D
 Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
A              B7                 
 This one last bullet you mention
D
 Is this my one last shot at redemption
F#m                                B      A    D
 Coz I know to live you must give your life away


Pre-Chorus:
               F#m               D             A       
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               F#m                 D                   A                
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               F#m            D                      A             
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            B7                                          D
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D      (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
       A                D               
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
         F#m               D                   B7            D              
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Verse 2:
A                 B
 I've given up on doing this alone now
D
 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
F#m                  D                    B      A     D
 You've 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#m                      D                     B        A      D
 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Pre-Chorus:
               F#m               D             A       
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               F#m                 D                   A                
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               F#m            D                      A             
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            B7                                          D
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D      (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
A                          D               
 Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
         F#m               D                   B7            D              
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Bridge:

F#m              D
 I am a hostage to my own humanity
A                             B
 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
F#m                          D
 And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
A                           B
 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave

 

Pre-Chorus:
               F#m               D             A       
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               F#m                 D                   A                
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               F#m            D                      A             
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            B7                                          D
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D      (chucka-chucka)
 I promise I'm going because...



Chorus:
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
       A                D               
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A              D
 Whooaaa I gotta get out of here
         F#m               D                   B7            D        A      
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
