Be My Escape

Verse 1:

G D

I've given up on giving up slowly

C

I'm blending in so you won't even know me

Em D G Bm C

Apart from this whole world that shares my fate

G D

This one last call that You mentioned

C

Is my one last shot at redemption

Em D G Bm C

Because I know to live you must give your life away

Prechorus:

Em C G D

And I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity

Em C G D

And I've been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key

Em C G D

And I've been dying to get out and that might be the death of me

A C

And even though, there's no way in knowing where to go, promise I'm

D

going

Because

Chorus:

G D C D

I gotta get outta here

G D C D

I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

G D C D

I gotta get outta here

Em D C D

And I'm begging You, begging You, begging You to be my escape.

Verse 2:

I'm giving up I'm 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 2: (Same as Chorus 1)

Cause 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

Cause I'm afraid that this complacency 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:

Em C

I am a hostage to my own humanity

Em C

Self detained and forced to live in this mess I've made

Em C

And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me

A C D (let ring)

But I can't ask You to give what You already gave

Chorus 3: (Same as Chorus 1)

Cause 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've gotta get outta here

I'm stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake

I've gotta get outta here

And I'm begging You, I'm begging You, I'm begging

You to be my escape.

Outro/Ending: All Piano

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

But so were You

So were You
