Verse 1:
D                 E7    
 I've given up on giving up slowly
G    
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Bm7              A                   E7       D     G    
 Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
D              E7                     
 This one last bullet you mention
G    
 Is this my one last shot at redemption
Bm7             A                        E7      D    G    
 Coz I know to live you must give your life away


Pre-Chorus:
               Bm7              G             D       A    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Bm7                G                   D                A    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Bm7           G                      D             A    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            E7                                           G    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                A       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
D A             G        A     
 I gotta get out of here
       D                A                G               A     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
D A              G            A    
 I gotta get out of here
         Bm7              A                    E7            A                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Verse 2:
D                 E7    
 I've given up on doing this alone now
G    
 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Bm7                 A                      E7      D     G    
 You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
D                E7    
 And this life sentence that I'm serving
G    
 I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Bm7                     A                      E7       D      G    
 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Pre-Chorus:
               Bm7              G             D       A    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Bm7                G                   D                A    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Bm7           G                      D             A    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            E7                                           G    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                A       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:

D A              G         A     
 I gotta get out of here
         D                     A              G                     A    
 Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
D A             G          A    
 I gotta get out of here
         Bm7              A                    G                  A                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Bridge:
Bm7             G    
 I am a hostage to my own humanity
D                             E7    
 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Bm7                         G    
 And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
D                           E7    
 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave

 

Pre-Chorus:
               Bm7              G             D       A    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Bm7                G                   D                A    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Bm7           G                      D             A    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            E7                                           G    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                A       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
D A             G        A     
 I gotta get out of here
       D                A                G               A     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
D A              G            A    
 I gotta get out of here
         Bm7              A                    E7            A                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape


Outro - on piano -:
Am7 G F    - 1x for acoustic version, 2x for original version -

D           E7            G    
 I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
 Bm7           A                     G     
 Oh how we regret those things we do
D         E7            G                         Bm7    
 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
    A                   G     
 Oh-o, but so were you

Outro:
   So    were    you
