---CAPO 2---

Verse 1:
G             D
I?ve given up, I'm giving up slowly, 
C
I?m blending in so you won?t even know me 
G           D                     Em    D   C
apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G               D               C
This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
G               D                       Em  D  C
because I know to live you must give your life away

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

Chorus:
       G    D                C        D
      I---I gotta get outta here 
            G                   D               C          D
      I?m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
       G    D                C        D
      I---I gotta get outta here 
             Em                D
      And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, 
             C           D        G
      I?m begging You to be my escape.

Verse 2:
G               D
I?m giving up on doing this alone now
C
Cause I?ve failed and I?m ready to be shown how
G                D                  Em  D    C
He?s told me the way and I?m trying to get there
G               D
And this life sentence that I?m serving
C
I admit that I?m every bit deserving 
G                D                      Em   D   C
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Pre-chorus

Chorus:
       G    D                C        D
      I---I gotta get outta here 
             G              D          C                 D
      I'm afraid that this complacity is something I can't shake
       G    D                C        D
      I---I gotta get outta here 
             Em                 D
      And I?m begging You, I?m begging You, 
             C           D        G
      I?m begging You to be my escape.

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