Intro: F#m D F#m D
       F#m D

A                   Bm               F#m
 I've given up, I'm giving up slowly,   I'm blending in so
     D                 F#m       E                        F#m       D
You won't even know me   apart from this whole world that shares my fate
A              Bm                      F#m              D
 This one last call that You mentioned   is my one last shot at redemption
F#m                 E                       F#m    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
         Bm                                         D
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
     A                E               D          E
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E                Bm             E       A
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

A                  Bm
 I'm giving up I'm doing this alone now
F#m                         D
  Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
F#m                 E                 F#m     D
  He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
A              Cm
 And this life sentence that I'm serving
F#m                D
  I admit that I'm every bit deserving
F#m                  E                     F#m      D
  But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

                F#m              D         A        E
Cause 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
         Bm                                         D
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
            A                  E          D                  E
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E                Bm             E       F#m
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.

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

                F#m              D         A        E
Cause 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
         Bm                                         D
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise
    E
I'm going because

A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
     A                E               D          E
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
A E            D         E
   I gotta get outta here
        F#m              E                Bm
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging

       E       F#m  E D F#m E D
You to be my escape.

F#m         G          D
   I fought You for so long
   I should have let You in
F#m          E                    D
 Oh how we regret those things we do
F#m           G     D                          F#m
   And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
E             D
 But so were You

E       F#m
So were You
