Be My Escape Acoustic Tab

by Relient K


One of my favorite songs- the acoustic version is amazing if you haven't already
heard it (available on iTunes). These are perfect. Trust me, I played with the
actual song, and I didn't notice anything off. 
Please rate and comment!

---CAPO 2---

Verse 1:
	       
I’ve given up, I'm 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
		   		               
because I know to live you must give your life away

Pre-chorus:
	                                      
And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
	                                                   
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

Chorus:
           	          	  
	I---I gotta get outta here 
	      		                                
	I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
           	          	  
	I---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

Pre-chorus

Chorus:
           	          	  
	I---I gotta get outta here 
	       		                             
	I'm afraid that this complacity is something I can't shake
           	          	  
	I---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
