Be My Escape Tab

by Relient K


Okay I think this is right. This is how my friend and I used to play it.
Have fun !!

Verse 1

                
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 bullet you mention
                 
 is my one last shot at redemption 
                                            
cause I know to live you must give your life away



Chorus 
                                                   
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity and
                                                            
I’ve been locked inside that 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 in knowing where to go, promise I’m going 

because
                        
I gotta get outta 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.


 
Verse 2 
                 
I’m giving up on doing this alone now
                          
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 that I’m serving
                                    
I admit that I’m every bit deserving 
                                                        
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair



CHORUS



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
                        (hold)
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave 



CHORUS




Outro
                     
I fought You for so long

I should have let You in
                                
Oh how we regret those things we do
                              
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
                
But ohh  so were You
          
So were You
