Verse 1.
G             [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
I've given up on giving up slowly
Cadd9
I'm blending in so You won't even know me
Em7        Dsus4                 [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch] Bsus? Cadd9
Apart from this whole world that shares   my   fate

G             [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
This one last bullet you mention
Cadd9
Is my one last shot at redemption
Em7               Dsus4                   [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]  Bsus? Cadd9
Because I know to live you must give your life     aw-----ay


Pre chrous.
              Em7              Cadd9     G     Dsus4
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
              Em7                Cadd9         G                 Dsus4
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              Em7          Cadd9              G               Dsus4
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
And even though there's no way in knowing
         Cadd9            Dsus4
Where to go I promise I'm going because


Chorus.
G   Dsus4          Cadd9     Dsus4
I----I gotta get outta here
G                     Dsus4           Cadd9      Dsus4
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G  Dsus4        Cadd9     Dsus4
I---I gotta get outta here
Em7                      Dsus4            Cadd9
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
  Dsus4       G
To be my escape


Verse 2.
G                [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
I'm giving up, I'm doing this alone now
Cadd9
‘Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
Em7              Dsus4            [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch] Bsus? Cadd9
He's told me the way and I'm trying to    get   there
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/relient-k/347301.html ]
G             [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
And this life sentence that I'm serving
Cadd9
I admit that I'm every bit deserving
Em7               Dsus4                 [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch] Bsus? Cadd9
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life   not   fair


Pre chorus.
              Em7              Cadd9     G     Dsus4
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
              Em7                Cadd9         G                 Dsus4
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              Em7          Cadd9              G               Dsus4
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
And even though there's no way in knowing
         Cadd9            Dsus4
Where to go I promise I'm going because


Chorus.
G   Dsus4          Cadd9     Dsus4
I----I gotta get outta here
G                     Dsus4           Cadd9      Dsus4
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G  Dsus4        Cadd9     Dsus4
I---I gotta get outta here
Em7                      Dsus4            Cadd9
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
  Dsus4       G
To be my escape


Bridge.
Em7            Cadd9  
I am a hostage to my own humanity
G                           Dsus4
Self-detained and forced to live in this mess I've made
Em7                       Cadd9
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
G                           Dsus4
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave


Pre chorus. (one strum for each chord, until final 2 lines)
              Em7              Cadd9     G     Dsus4

              Em7                Cadd9         G                 Dsus4
And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
              Em7          Cadd9              G               Dsus4
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
         [ch]Dsus4/E[/ch]
And even though there's no way in knowing
         Cadd9            Dsus4
Where to go I promise I'm going because


Final Chorus.
G   Dsus4          Cadd9     Dsus4
I----I gotta get outta here
G                     Dsus4           Cadd9      Dsus4
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
G  Dsus4        Cadd9     Dsus4
I---I gotta get outta here
Em7                      Dsus4            Cadd9
And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging You
