Be My Escape Acoustic Tab

by Relient K


The others require a capo, I don't even own one, I think its a cheaters tool haha 
so I tranposed it from key to key so you can play without a capo.

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:
                                            
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 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 

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.
