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

F#5 D5
And I've been housing all this doubt
A5 E5
A5 E5
And insecurity
F#5 D5
F#5 D5
And I've been locked inside that house
A5 E5
A5 E5
All the while, you hold the key
F#5 D5
F#5 D5
And I've been dying to get out
A5 E5
A5 E5
And that might be the death of me
B5
B5
And even though there's no way of knowing
D5 E5
D5 E5
Where to go, I promise I'm going because
Chorus:
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Verse2:
F#m (BAR)
I've given up, on doing this alone now
Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
F#5 (POW) E5 B5-C#5-D5
F#5 (POW) E5 B5-C#5-D5
You SHOWED me the way, and I'm trying to get there
F#m (BAR)
F#m (BAR)
And this life sentence that I'm serving
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
F#5 (POW) E5 B5-C#5-D5
F#5 (POW) E5 B5-C#5-D5
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
Pre-chorus:
F#5 D5
F#5 D5
Cause I've been housing all this doubt
A5 E5
A5 E5
And insecurity
F#5 D5
F#5 D5
And I've been locked inside that house
A5 E5
A5 E5
All the while, you hold the key
F#5 D5

And I've been dying to get out
A5 E5
A5 E5
And that might be the death of me

Chorus:
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
I gotta get outta here
A5 E5 D5 E5
A5 E5 D5 E5
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Bridge:
(Now you star alternating between F#m and F#5 then thebass goes alone for a bit then you star alternating between F#m and F#5 again)
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
Pre-chorus:
(Okay when this second pre-chorus comes around you might notice there is a little melody being played in the background this is how it goes)

Outro:
I fought you for so long
I should've let you win
Oh, how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Oh-o, but so were you
So were you
I fought you for so long
I should've let you win
Oh, how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Oh-o, but so were you
So were you
