Standard tuning, CAPO 2nd fret
I kno there are certain specific names for these chords
but then wen chucked in with the lyrics it wud be too
crammed to fit the whole names in so lets just stick
with simple names yis? and btw for ceratin parts u dont hav
to strum the e and B string, because then it covers up the
strings that ur sposed to be hearing.
So just use these chords for the song:
E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3 E---3
B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3 B---3
G---0 G---0 G---0 G---0 G---2 G---0
D---0 D---2 D---2 D---2 D---0 D---x
A---2 A---0 A---3 A---2 A---x A---2
E---3 E---x E---x E---0 E---x E---x
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
Coz I know to live you must give your life away
Pre-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 of knowing where to go
(chucka-chucka)
I promise I'm going because...
Chorus:
I gotta get out of here
I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get out of here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Verse 2:
I've given up on doing this alone now
Cause I failed and I'm ready to be shown how
You've 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 gotta get out of here
Coz I'm afraid that this complacency is something I can't shake, yeah
I gotta get out of here
And I'm begging you, I'm begging you, I'm begging you to be my escape
Bridge:
I've split the bridge into two parts,
The lead riff:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------2-2-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------2-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-----------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---------|
E|-0-0-0-3-------------------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-------------------------|
And the chords:
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
Pre-Chorus (played single strumming)
Chorus
Outro:
The outro is optional coz its played by piano,
but I'll tab the chords out anyway:
E D C only once for the acoustic version, but they do this
twice for the original version
I fought you for so long, I should have let you win
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
Oh-o, but so were you
End with this:
So were you
