Verse 1: 
A5			B5   
I've given up on giving up slowly 
D5 
I'm blending in so you won't even know me 
F#5		E5			     A5  C#5  D5 
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate 
A5             B5    
This one last call that You mentioned  
D5 
Is my one last shot at redemption  
F#5			E5             A5       C#5   D5 
Because I know to live you must give your life away  
 
PreChorus:  
           
              F#5               D5       A5         E5 
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity  
              F#5                D5            A5                 E5 
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key  
              F#5          D5                 A5              E5 
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me  
         B5 (p.m. if you want)                         D5      
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm  
E5 
going  
(mute the strings and strum quickly four times) 
Because  
 
 
 
 
Chorus: 
A5    E5           D5         E5 
   I     gotta get outta here  
    A5                E5              D5          E5(mute effect again)   
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake  
A5    E5           D5         E5 
   I     gotta get outta here 
        F#5          E5           D5             E5 
And I'm begging You, begging You, begging You to be my escape.  
 
I'm giving up I'm 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  
 
Chorus 2: (Same as Chorus 1) 
 
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  
I gotta get outta here  
Cause I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake  
I gotta get outta here  
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You to be my escape.  
 
Bridge: 
F#5            D5   
I am a hostage    to my own humanity  
F#5                         D5 
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made  
F#5                       D5    
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me 
B5                     D5                     E5 (let ring) 
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave  
 
Chorus 3: (Same as Chorus 1) 
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  
I've gotta get outta here  
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake  
I've gotta get outta here  
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging  
You to be my escape.  
 
Outro/Ending: All Piano 
 
I fought You for so long  
I should have let You win  
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
