(FIRST TAB please rate) [only completing the first half of the song] [easier version at bottom of the page (: ] Intro: barr 9th fret Am. my strumming is vvvv ^^^ v^v^ (x8) the strumming is continuous during intro the intro is a set of 2 different sounds acctually making it x4 the first part- remove your middle finger in the first space on my strumming the second part- remove your middle finger in the first space on my strumming then remove your pinkey finger on the second space. (intros done finally) =P -for the rest of the song use your regular 4 beat strumming- (i'm approximating the positions but thats the easy part to figure out once u have the flow |A E| I've given up on giving up slowly, D E| I'm blending in so you won't even know me F#m E| D| apart from this whole world that shares my fate A E| This one last bullet you mention, D E| is my one last shot at redemption F#m E| 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 D E| And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because |A E |D E| Ohhh, I gotta get outta here |F#m D |A E| I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake A E |D E| Ohhh, I gotta get outta here |F#m D |A E| And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape. (in the acoustic version there is no intro thrown in here but i throw in 1 set of the intro here) [same chords for the rest of the song!] I'm giving up on doing this alone now Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there And this life sentence that I'm serving I admit that I'm every bit deserving But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because Ohhh, I gotta get outta here Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah. Ohhh, I gotta get outta here And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape. I am a hostage to my own humanity Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me But I can't ask You to give what You already gave Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity and I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm going because Ohhh, I've gotta get outta here I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake Ohhh, I've gotta get outta here And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape. I fought You for so long I should have let You in Oh how we regret those things we do And all I was trying to do was save my own skin But so were You So were You ____________________________ EASIER WAY TO LOOK AT THINGS set 1: |A E | D E | F#m E | D | set 2: |F#m D | A E | set 3: | D | E | set 4: |A E | D E | F#m D | A E | Verse's- [set 1](x2) Pre Chorus'- [set 2](x3)+[set 3] Chorus'- [set 4](x2)
