Be My Escape Acoustic

K. Relient

---CAPO 2---


 GD
 I've given up, I'm giving up slowly,
 C
 I'm blending in so you won't even know me
 GDEmDC
 apart from this whole world that shares my fate
 GDC
 This one last bullet you mention is my one last shot at redemption
 GDEmDC
 because I know to live you must give your life away

Pre-chorus:
 EmCGD
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
 EmCGD
I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
 EmCGD
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
 FC
And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go,
 D
promise I'm going because

Chorus:
 GDCD
        I---I gotta get outta here 
 GDCD
        I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
 GDCD
        I---I gotta get outta here 
 EmD
        And I'm begging You, I'm begging You,
 CDG
        I'm begging You to be my escape.

Verse 2:
 GD
 I'm giving up on doing this alone now
 C
 Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how
 GDEmDC
 He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there
 GD
 And this life sentence that I'm serving
 C
 I admit that I'm every bit deserving
 GDEmDC
 But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Pre-chorus

Chorus:
 GDCD
        I---I gotta get outta here 
 GDCD
        I'm afraid that this complacity is something I can't shake
 GDCD
        I---I gotta get outta here 
 EmD
        And I'm begging You, I'm begging You,
 CDG
        I'm begging You to be my escape.

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