Be My Escape Tab

by Relient K


For the intro play    

I've given up on giving up slowly

I'm blending in so you won't even know me
                                      
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate

This one last call that you mentioned

Is my one last shot at redemption
                                      
I Know, to live you must give your life away

                                           
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
                                                             
And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
                                                         
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
                                                                 
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because

               
I  gotta get out of here
                                         
I'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
              
I  gotta get outta here
                                                    
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.

Play intro

I'm giving up I'm doing this alone know 

Cause I've failed and I'm ready to be shown how 
                                      
He's told me the way and I'm trying to get there

And this life sentence thatI'm serving

I admit that I'm every bit deserving
                                             
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair


Chorus 2
                                           
And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
                                                             
And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
                                                         
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
                                                                 
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because
               
I  gotta get out of here
                                                       
Cause I'm afraid that this complacence is something i can't shake
              
I  gotta get outta here
                                                     
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.


Bridge

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



Cause I've been houseing all this doubt and insecurity 

And I've been locked inside this house all the while you hold the key
                          
And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
                                                                 
And even though, there's no way of knowing where to go, I promise i'm going

Because
               
I  gotta get out of here
                                         
I'm stuck inside this rut that i fell into by mistake
              
I  gotta get outta here
                                                          
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape.


Piano

I fought you for so long 

I should have let you win

Oh how we regret those things we do

But so were you

So were you
