[VERSE 1]
[G]I’ve given up[D] on giving up slowly,
[Em]I’m blending in so yo[C]u won’t even know me
[G]A part from [D]this whole world that [Em]shares[D] my [C]fate
[G]This one last bu[D]llet you mention[Em] is my one last s[C]hot at redemption
[G]‘cause I know to[D] live you must give you[Em]r lif[D]e a-[C] -way
[PRE-CHORUS]
And I’ve been [Em]housing all this [C]doubt and[G] insecur[D]ity
I’ve been[Em] locked inside that [C]house all the [G]while You hold the[D] key
And I’ve been[Em] dying to get[C] out and that migh[G]t be the death o[D]f me
And even tho[A]ugh, there’s no way in knowing where t[C]o go,
promise I’m [D]going because
[CHORUS]
[G] I---[D]I gotta get o[C]utta he[D]re
I’m [G]stuck inside this[D] rut that I fell[C] into by mi[D]stake
[G] I---[D]I gotta get o[C]utta he[D]re
And I’m[Em] begging You, I’[D]m begging You,
I’m b[C]egging You t[D]o be my e[G]scape.
[VERSE 2]
[G]I’m giving up on [D]doing this alone now
[Em]Cause I’ve failed an[C]d I’m ready to be shown how
[G]He’s told me the[D] way and I’m tr[Em]ying[D] to g[C]et there
[G]And this life sen[D]tence that I’m serving
[Em]I admit that I’[C]m every bit deserving
[G]But the beauty of gr[D]ace is that it makes [Em]life [D]not [C]fair
[PRE-CHORUS]
And I’ve been [Em]housing all this [C]doubt and[G] insecur[D]ity
I’ve been[Em] locked inside that [C]house all the [G]while You hold the[D] key
And I’ve been[Em] dying to get[C] out and that migh[G]t be the death o[D]f me
And even tho[A]ugh, there’s no way in knowing where t[C]o go,
promise I’m [D]going because
Chorus: (slight change in wording)
[G] I---[D]I gotta get o[C]utta he[D]re
I'm afr[G]aid that this compl[D]icity is so[C]mething I can't sh[D]ake
[G] I---[D]I gotta get o[C]utta he[D]re
And I’m[Em] begging You, I’m[D] begging You,
I’m b[C]egging You t[D]o be my e[G]scape.
[BRIDGE]
[Em]I am a hos[D]tage[C] to my own hum[D]anity
[Em]Self-deta[D]ined and forced to [C]live in this[D] mess I’ve made
[Em]And all I’m [D]asking is for You t[C]o do what [D]You can with me
[A]But I can’t ask You to[C] give what You alread[D]y gave
Pre-chorus: [Em] [C] [G] [D]
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
I’ve been[Em] locked inside that [C]house all the [G]while You hold the[D] key
And I’ve been[Em] dying to get[C] out and that migh[G]t be the death o[D]f me
And even tho[A]ugh, there’s no way in knowing where t[C]o go,
