Verse 1:
C                 D7    
 I've given up on giving up slowly
F    
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Am7              G                   D7       C     F    
 Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
C              D7                     
 This one last bullet you mention
F    
 Is this my one last shot at redemption
Am7             G                        D7      C    F    
 Coz I know to live you must give your life away


Pre-Chorus:
               Am7              F             C       G    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Am7                F                   C                G    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Am7           F                      C             G    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            D7                                           F    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                G       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
C G             F        G     
 I gotta get out of here
       C                G                F               G     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
C G              F            G    
 I gotta get out of here
         Am7              G                    D7            G                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Verse 2:
C                 D7    
 I've given up on doing this alone now
F    
 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Am7                 G                      D7      C     F    
 You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
C                D7    
 And this life sentence that I'm serving
F    
 I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Am7                     G                      D7       C      F    
 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Pre-Chorus:
               Am7              F             C       G    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Am7                F                   C                G    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Am7           F                      C             G    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            D7                                           F    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                G       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:

C G              F         G     
 I gotta get out of here
         C                     G              F                     G    
 Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
C G             F          G    
 I gotta get out of here
         Am7              G                    F                  G                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Bridge:
Am7             F    
 I am a hostage to my own humanity
C                             D7    
 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Am7                         F    
 And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
C                           D7    
 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave

 

Pre-Chorus:
               Am7              F             C       G    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Am7                F                   C                G    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Am7           F                      C             G    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            D7                                           F    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                G       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
C G             F        G     
 I gotta get out of here
       C                G                F               G     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
C G              F            G    
 I gotta get out of here
         Am7              G                    D7            G                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape


Outro - on piano -:
Gm7 F Eb    - 1x for acoustic version, 2x for original version -

C           D7            F    
 I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
 Am7           G                     F     
 Oh how we regret those things we do
C         D7            F                         Am7    
 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
    G                   F     
 Oh-o, but so were you

Outro:
   So    were    you 
    G        Am7      C
