[A]
[A] I'm giving up, I'm giving up slowly I'm blending in so you won't even know [C#m] me
Apart [A] from this world that shares my [D] fate This [B] one last will you [D] mention
Smile, one last shot of [F#m] redemption Cause I [E] know to live you must [B] give your life
away [F#m] Never housing all this doubt
[A] Living in [E] security not [F#m] being locked inside [D] the house
[A] Although while you hold [E] the key not [F#m] being tied in should you get out
And [A] that might be the death [E] of me and [B] even those
No way of knowing [D] where to go I promise [E] I'm going [A] because
[E] I [D] gotta get out of [E] here
[A] Stuck [E] inside this rut that I [D] fell into [E] by
mistake [A] I [E] [D] gotta get out of [E] here
[F#m] And I'm begging [E] you, I'm begging [B] you, I'm begging you [E] to be my escape
I'm giving up, I'm doing this [A] alone now Cause I failed and I'm ready for the [F#] show now
You told [E] me the way and now I'm [B] trying to [D] get there
[A] And this life sentence that I'm [A] serving I admit that I'm every bit [F#] deserving
But the [E] beauty of grace is that [B] it makes life [D] not fair
[F#] Cause I've been housing all [D] this doubt [A] Living in [E] security not [F#m] being locked inside [D] the house
[A] Although while you hold [E] the key not [F#m] being tied in should [D] you get out
And [A] that might be the [E] death of me and [B] even those
No way of knowing [D] where to go I [E] promise I'm going because
I [D] gotta get out of [E] here [A] Cause I'm afraid that [E] this [D] complacency is
something [E] I can't shake [A] I [E] [D] gotta get out of [E] here
[F#m] And I'm begging [E] you, I'm begging [D] you, I'm begging [E] you to be my [F#m] escape
I'm
[F#] a hostage [D] to my own [A] humanity
I'm a tainted [B] force to live in this mess [F#m] I'm asking [D] this for you to do what you [F#m] care with me
But I can't ask you to give what you [B] already gave
[F#m] Cause I've been housing [D] all this [A] doubt Living in [E] security not [F#m] being locked [D] inside the house
[A] Although while you [E] hold the key not [F#] being tied [A] in should you get out
And that might be the [E] death of me [B] and even those
No way of knowing [A] where to go I promise I'm going because
[E] I [D] gotta get out of [E] here [A] I'm stuck [E] inside this love that [D] I felt
If you by mistake [A] I [D] gotta get out of [E] here
[F#m] And I'm begging [E] you, I'm begging [D] you, I'm begging [E] you to be [A] my escape
