Verse 1:
G                 A7    
 I've given up on giving up slowly
C    
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
Em7              D                   A7       G     C    
 Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
G              A7                     
 This one last bullet you mention
C    
 Is this my one last shot at redemption
Em7             D                        A7      G    C    
 Coz I know to live you must give your life away


Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              C             G       D    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                C                   G                D    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           C                      G             D    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7                                           C    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
G D             C        D     
 I gotta get out of here
       G                D                C               D     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G D              C            D    
 I gotta get out of here
         Em7              D                    A7            D                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Verse 2:
G                 A7    
 I've given up on doing this alone now
C    
 Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Em7                 D                      A7      G     C    
 You've told me the way, and I'm trying to get there
G                A7    
 And this life sentence that I'm serving
C    
 I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Em7                     D                      A7       G      C    
 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              C             G       D    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                C                   G                D    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           C                      G             D    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7                                           C    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:

G D              C         D     
 I gotta get out of here
         G                     D              C                     D    
 Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
G D             C          D    
 I gotta get out of here
         Em7              D                    C                  D                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape 


Bridge:
Em7             C    
 I am a hostage to my own humanity
G                             A7    
 Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Em7                         C    
 And all I'm asking is for you to do what you can with me
G                           A7    
 But I can't ask you to give what you already gave

 

Pre-Chorus:
               Em7              C             G       D    
 And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
               Em7                C                   G                D    
 And I've been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
               Em7           C                      G             D    
 And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
            A7                                           C    
 And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
                D       - chucka-chucka -
 I promise I'm going because...


Chorus:
G D             C        D     
 I gotta get out of here
       G                D                C               D     
 I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G D              C            D    
 I gotta get out of here
         Em7              D                    A7            D                   
 And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape


Outro - on piano -:
Dm7 C Bb    - 1x for acoustic version, 2x for original version -

G           A7            C    
 I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
 Em7           D                     C     
 Oh how we regret those things we do
G         A7            C                         Em7    
 And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
    D                   C     
 Oh-o, but so were you

Outro:
   So    were    you 
    D        Em7      G
